Air Fryer Potato Skins
Indulge in the mouthwatering goodness of air fryer potato skins, a perfect blend of flavor, crunch, and convenience. These delightful appetizers or snacks transform simple potatoes into a crispy, satisfying dish that’s sure to impress. Using an air fryer allows you to achieve that golden-brown finish with significantly less oil than traditional frying, making it a healthier option without sacrificing taste.
To create these crispy delights, start with fresh, medium-sized russet potatoes. After baking them until tender, scoop out the insides, leaving just enough flesh to maintain structure. The real magic happens when you brush the skins with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt, and air fry them until they are perfectly crispy. The air fryer circulates hot air around the skins, delivering an even cook and a satisfying crunch.

RECIPE
Ingredients
- POTATO SKINS FROM 3 RUSSET POTATOES
- 3 TBSP. MELTED SALTED BUTTER (or olive oil if preferred)
- 3/4 CUP COLBY JACK SLICED CHEESE (or preferred cheese)
- 1/2 CUP SOUR CREAM
- 3 DICED GREEN ONIONS
Directions
- It is best to use skins from potatoes that you peel for mashed potatoes (no waste!) Otherwise, you can bake your potatoes and cut them into quarters. Then, hull out the potatoes & reserve everything but the skins for another use. Toss the skins in melted butter, then sprinkle with salt & pepper.
- Place potato skins in your Air Fryer basket (skin sides down) for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, top with cheese and cook for 2 more minutes. Combine the sour cream and onion and use it as a dip for the skins.
Oven Directions: Put potato skins on a cooling rack and place in a 425 degree oven for 14 minutes. Take out and top with cheese, then bake for 4 more minutes. Enjoy!
