Easy Twice Baked Potatoes Ingredients

• 4 russet potatoes (8 oz each)
• 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
• 6 slices of center cut bacon (cut into strips)
• 1 cup of fat greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons of light butter
• 1 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar (divided)
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper (to taste)
• 1 to 2 handfuls of parsley (finely chopped)
• chives or scallions for garnish (optional)

How to Make Twice Baked Potatoes

Step 1:

Thoroughly wash the potatoes first, then dry them. Using a fork, poke holes around each potatoes. Spray them with cooking spray or rub with oil, then sprinkle with salt. Place them in the basket of your air fryer and air fry at 400F for about 35 to 40 minutes until they are cooked in the center.

Step 2:

When the potatoes are almost done, cook the bacon until crispy and drain the remaining grease. Chop into small pieces. Add 3/4 of the cooked bacon pieces in a bowl, followed by the butter, parsley, black pepper, and 3/4 cup of the cheddar.

Step 3:

Slice the cooked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides using a spoon, leaving a thin layer of potato around the edges of the skin. Add the scooped potatoes in the butter mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 4:

Add the yogurt to the mixture and mix again.

Step 5:

Fill each potato skin with the butter yogurt mixture, then sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Place back in the air fryer for 5 to 8 minutes at 400F until the cheese is melted.

Step 6:

Top them with the remaining bacon pieces and chives, if preferred. Enjoy!
