Ingredients

To make loaded air fryer potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup green onions, sliced
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment Needed

• Air fryer
• Mixing bowl
• Fork
• Knife
• Cutting board
• Serving platter

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

1. Wash and Scrub: Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Scrub them with a brush to ensure they are clean.

2. Poke Holes: Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato. This will allow steam to escape during cooking and prevent the potatoes from bursting.

3. Season the Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 2: Air Fry the Potatoes

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

2. Cook the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and the skin is crispy.

3. Check for Doneness: To check if the potatoes are fully cooked, insert a fork or knife into the center. If it slides in easily, the potatoes are ready.

Step 3: Load the Potatoes
