📝 Preparation Steps

Wash, then dry the whole potatoes with a paper towel. Brush each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Poke each potato several times with the tines of a fork.

Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF (204°C) for at least ⏱️ 3 minutes, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for ⏱️ 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You can check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a toothpick or a fork; they should be tender when fully cooked.

Let the cooked potatoes cool for about ⏱️ 10 minutes, or until they are easy to handle.

With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the potato flesh, leaving a thin layer to keep the skin intact.

In a large bowl, mash the scooped potato insides using an electric mixer, hand mixer, or a potato masher.

Add the softened butter, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Mix all the ingredients into the mashed potatoes until smooth.

Place the stuffed potatoes back in the air fryer basket and cook them for ⏱️ 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and they are heated through.
