Ingredients (7)

  • 4 whole potatoes 4 oz each
  • 1.5 oz cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 oz pan-fried bacon crumbled
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Prep:

1

Wash 16 oz potatoes very well (scrub if necessary).

2

Shred 1 oz cheddar.

3

Pan-fry 1 oz bacon until crispy, then chop it into fine bits.

4

Chop 2 tbsp scallion.

Chop 2 tbsp parsley.

Cook:

1

Air-fry the potatoes: Wrap 4 (4-oz) potatoes in foil, then air-fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes.

2

Half and hollow the potatoes: Carefully remove the foil from each potato, then cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the middle so that the potato pouches are 1” in thickness.

Brush with oil, then air-fry: Brush the potato pouches with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, then air-fry them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for another 7 minutes.

4

Add the filling, then air-fry for the final time: Fill the potato pouches with 1.5 oz cheddar cheese, 1 oz crumbled bacon, and 2 tbsp Greek yogurt. Air-fry them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for another 3 minutes.

5

Serve: Top with 2 tbsp chopped scallion and 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Keep warm in the air fryer until serving.
