Step 1
Scrub potatoes under running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Prick each potato all over with a fork, about 8–10 times per potato.
Step 3
Rub potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Place potatoes directly in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 22 minutes.
Step 5
Pierce the thickest potato with a knife. It should slide through easily when done.
Step 6
Carefully remove potatoes and let cool for 2 minutes until safe to handle.
Step 7
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
Step 8
Top each half with butter, sour cream, cheddar, and fresh chives. Serve hot.
