Golden Air Fryer Potatoes: Ultimate Comfort Food!
Ingredients
Method
- Bake the potatoes until tender (follow post directions or bake at 400F/200C for 45-60 mins).
- Let cool slightly (about 10 mins). Slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Set skins aside.
- Mash the scooped potato with steamed broccoli, melted butter, cream cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Spoon the filling mixture evenly back into the potato skins. Gently press the top to flatten slightly.
- Top each filled potato half generously with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Place the stuffed potato halves, filling-side up, in your air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, creamy goodness!
Notes
– Don’t over-mash the potato filling; leave some texture for interest.
– Ensure cheese is evenly distributed for maximum meltiness.
– Adjust air fryer time based on your appliance; check for golden brown perfection.
