The Recipe: Cheese and Bacon Potato Skins Preparation Time: 10 mins Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Serves: 2 Ingredients: * 2 large baking potatoes * Olive oil * Salt and black pepper * 15g butter * 100g grated cheese (a mix of Cheddar for flavor and Mozzarella for that ultimate video cheese pull works best for the UK) * 1 tsp mixed herbs * 3-4 slices of uncooked bacon, cut into small pieces Method: 1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each potato with a fork a few times on each side, then coat them thoroughly with olive oil and sea salt. 2. First Air Fry: Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 170°C for 30 minutes, then turn the temperature up to 200°C and cook for another 20 minutes until the skins are crispy and the inside is soft. 3. Make the Filling: Cut the cooked potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop the fluffy inside into a bowl, leaving a sturdy border so the skins do not break. Add the butter, salt, pepper, and a generous handful of your cheese mix to the bowl and mash everything together with a fork. 4. Stuff and Top: Spoon the cheesy potato mixture back into the skins. Top each one with the remaining cheese, a sprinkle of mixed herbs, and the small pieces of uncooked bacon. 5. Final Crisp: Place the loaded skins back into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 200°C for 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden, and the bacon is perfectly cooked and crispy. Garnish with fresh chives if you like and enjoy straight away! Club Tip: If you are using smaller or medium potatoes instead of large ones, just reduce the initial cooking times slightly (around 20 minutes at 170°C and 15 minutes at 200°C). #AirFryerClub #AirFryerRecipes #potatoskins #comfortfood #loadedpotato
