Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Scrub potatoes under running water and pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. Step 2

    Prick each potato all over with a fork, about 8–10 times per potato.

  3. Step 3

    Rub potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Place potatoes directly in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 22 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Pierce the thickest potato with a knife. It should slide through easily when done.

  6. Step 6

    Carefully remove potatoes and let cool for 2 minutes until safe to handle.

  7. Step 7

    Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.

  8. Step 8

    Top each half with butter, sour cream, cheddar, and fresh chives. Serve hot.
