Make these delicious Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes, perfect appetizer or side dish!
If you enjoyed these Air Fryer Baked Potatoes or Air Fryer Potato Skins, then you will certainly love these Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes.
This recipe starts out with baked potatoes, which I do believe are best made in the air fryer. Once they are cooked, you would move right along with the remainder of the recipe.
These potatoes are full of creamy and delicious ingredients.
Tips for Making Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes:
As mentioned above, first you will need to bake the potatoes before moving forward with the second round of baking.
In most air fryers, 2 baked potatoes will fit the best because these will be cut in halves. So you will end up with 2 whole potatoes or 4 halves in your air fryer.
The cooking time will always vary due to the amount of heat your air fryer puts off, so be sure to watch this closely.
While the potatoes are cooling, it’s best to go ahead and prepare the filling. Be sure to use a spoon or scoop to scoop the potato out of the skin. Leave a nice thin layer so that you do not damage the potato skin.
These will be done very similar to Air Fryer Potato Skins, but unlike the Air Fryer Potato Skins, we will be putting all the potato right back into the skin.
Combining the ingredients for the filling does work best with a handheld mixer. This will help you avoid over mixing.
Once these are complete, they can be served with additional sour cream or green onions if preferred. If you need a tasty side dish for 2, this is certainly the recipe to make.
Serving Suggestions:
We love to pair these with Air Fryer Steaks or Grilled Garlic Butter Steaks.
They are also very tasty paired with a nice salad.
