  • Loaded Style: Top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and chives for a hearty treat.

  • Spicy Kick: Add chili powder or smoked paprika to the seasoning for extra flavor.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to poke holes in the potatoes before air frying?
A: It’s not necessary in the air fryer since the hot air circulates well, but you can if you prefer.

Q: Can I use other types of potatoes?
A: Russets are best for a fluffy inside, but Yukon Golds and red potatoes also work—just adjust cooking time.

Q: Can I cook more than 4 at once?
A: Yes, but don’t overcrowd the basket. Air circulation is key to crispy skin.

Q: How do I know when they’re done?
A: Insert a fork or knife into the center—it should slide in easily with no resistance.
