Ingredients

2 medium russet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup sour cream (plus more for topping, if desired)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 cup + 3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1 cup + 3 tablespoons cooked, chopped bacon, divided (bacon bits can also be used)
½ cup green onions, sliced (for topping, if desired)

Instructions

Scrub and dry potatoes. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and use a pastry brush to brush oil over each potato, covering completely. Season with salt and pepper. Using a fork, poke the potatoes three times on each side.
Preheat air fryer (if your model has this version). Place potatoes into the air fryer and cook at 390℉ for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife pierces through them easily.
Remove potatoes from the air fryer and slice in half the long way. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Once cooled, scoop out the inside of the potato with a spoon and place into a bowl. Be sure to leave ½ inch border of potato along the skin.
Add sour cream, butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chives, and dill to the bowl with the potatoes. Mix together until light and fluffy, adding more sour cream, if needed.
Add one cup of cheddar cheese and one cup of chopped bacon to potato mixture and stir well.
Fill each potato skin with potato mixture. Top with remaining 3 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Place potatoes back into the air fryer and cook at 350℉ for 12-15 minutes, or until filling is warmed through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove potatoes from air fryer and top with remaining chopped bacon and green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
To reheat potatoes, either warm in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or cook in the air fryer at 350℉ for 10-12 minutes, or until warmed through.
