Step 1
Scrub potatoes under cold water to remove dirt. Pat dry completely with paper towels.
Step 2
Prick each potato several times with a fork to prevent bursting.
Step 3
Rub potatoes lightly with olive oil, then season all over with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Place potatoes in air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F for 25 minutes.
Step 5
Check potatoes with a fork—they should be tender inside and the skin should look crispy.
Step 6
Carefully remove potatoes. Slice each one lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
Step 7
Top each potato with butter, then divide cheese and bacon between them. The heat will melt the cheese.
Step 8
Dollop sour cream on top and garnish generously with fresh chives. Serve immediately.
