Why choose one when you can have both? These air-fryer twice-baked potatoes solve the ultimate potato lover's crisis by combining crispy, salty skins and a creamy, cheesy filling.

Ingredients

2 large potatoes, baked
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced chives
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Optional: Crumbled cooked bacon, sour cream, chives, paprika

Directions

Preheat air-fryer to 370°. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in. shell. In a large bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in the milk, bacon, onion, chives, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup cheese.
Spoon into potato shells. Cook for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. If desired, top with additional bacon and chives, dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.
