The crunchiness of bacon and scallions is something I was craving for, the creaminess of sour cream mixed with delicious baked potato- now I call it a fantastic dish!

Can you cook baked potatoes in the air fryer?

Absolutely yes! They come out to soft and delicious.

One of my kids favorite dish when we eat out at our local BBQ place is loaded baked potato. Usually it comes with a choice of a smoked meat, but at home we keep it simple and easy- with bacon and made in the Air Fryer!

Cheesy potatoes in the Air fryer

I love to add lots of cheese to my Air fryer baked potatoes. You can add cheddar, Monterrey jack cheese, any kind of Mexican shredded blend or any sharp white cheese if you like.

When we talk about cheese in my house, we love Parmesan the most. You can add it here too! In this particular recipe i used cheddar though, because it melts so well and bright in color.

Honestly, you don’t have to be a perfect cook to enjoy amazing dishes made in your Air fryer. Its so easy to use!
