    Twice Baked Potatoes with Bacon and Cheddar
    Twice Baked Potatoes with Bacon and Cheddar

    Hey, if you’re new here, welcome!  My name is Jenna and I love my air fryer! Plus, if you also follow the WW program most of my recipes will have the points added in the notes section. 

    Baked Potatoes are super easy to cook in the air fryer. To make twice baked potatoes all you do is scoop out the potato insides after the potatoes have cooked. Add in the yummy dairy ingredients and place that back in the potato skins, then continue baking until the potatoes are warmed up again and the cheese has melted.  I even included some oven instructions as well for those that don’t have an air fryer. 

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Potatoes  - Use a medium-sized Russet potato or any medium baking potato. Larger potatoes will take longer to cook. 

    Milk - I used 1% milk low-fat but use full-fat milk if you wish

    Greek Yogurt  - Can sub sour cream 

    Cheese - Cheddar or Colby Monterey Jack 

    Bacon - pre-cooked and chopped

    How to make Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes 

    To print the full recipe please see the recipe card below. 

    1. Set or preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
    2. Spray the potatoes with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes inside the basket and air fry the potatoes for 30- 40 minutes. Let the potatoes cool slightly so they are cool enough to scoop the insides out. 
    3. Oven: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pierce potatoes with a fork several times and place on a baking sheet. Bake until potatoes are tender and brown for about 50 – 60 minutes. Let cool for about 15 minutes until comfortable to handle.
    4. Halve the potatoes lengthwise and scoop the inside of the potato into a bowl leaving skins intact.
    5.  Add milk, ¾ cup of cheddar,  yogurt,  and pepper. Stir and mash with a fork to desired consistency. Spoon mixture back into potato skins and sprinkle with the remaining cheese on top. Top with cooked bacon.
    6. Oven: Return to the baking sheet and heat until warmed through for about 15 minutes.
    7. Air Fry: Place them back in the air fryer for 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and gooey. 
    8. Garnish with chopped scallions and chopped bacon.
