Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1/2 cup steamed broccoli florets (finely chopped)
  • 4 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Muenster or Cheddar)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Bake the potatoes until tender (follow post directions or bake at 400F/200C for 45-60 mins).
  2. 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.
  3. Mash the scooped potato with steamed broccoli, melted butter, cream cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
  4. Spoon the filling mixture evenly back into the potato skins. Gently press the top to flatten slightly.
  5. Top each filled potato half generously with the remaining shredded cheese.
  6. Place the stuffed potato halves, filling-side up, in your air fryer basket.
  7. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, creamy goodness!

Notes

– For best results, use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds.
– 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.
