I recently bought an air fryer from Kohls that was on sale with a 30% coupon. It was normally $119.99 on sale for $59.99. After the 30% coupon and free shipping code, I only paid about $37 with tax. I had been thinking of getting one for awhile, so at the price it was too good to pass up.
Today while looking for something to make for dinner, I saw a bag of baking potatoes that we needed to use. We also had cheese and bacon so I thought why not make some stuffed potato skins. I was a little nervous using the fryer for the first time but once I realized how easy it is, I was hooked.
I started with 6 washed medium potatoes, which would make 12 potato skins. I baked them in the microwave, but you can bake them any way your prefer.
I cut them in half lengthwise and scooped out the potato flesh. They were not the prettiest, but since I was not serving it for something special it did not have to look perfect.
I split the potatoes into two batches. I placed each batch in the fryer for about 3-4 minutes at 390 degrees to crisp the skin just a bit before filling them.
For the filling I used the scooped out potatoes, 6 pieces of bacon cut into pieces, and a large handful of cheese. I never measure cheese, I just put in what looks good to me. (our family loves cheese) I also sprinkled on a little bit of salt and pepper. What is great about a recipe like this is you can customize it and add whatever ingredients you want it to the filling.
I cooked the batches of stuffed potatoes for about 5 minutes each. I sprinkled on a little more cheese on top, and then turned the fryer on for one more minute to melt it.
There was a little bit of filling leftover, it is going to be added to some eggs in the morning.
There was a bag of BBQ chicken wings in the freezer, which made for an excellent companion to the stuffed potato skins. This was such and easy and delicious meal to make, that I will definitely be making it again.
