Easy Air Fryer Sour Cream and Onion Twice Baked Potatoes

It is no surprise that air fryer potatoes are hands down my favorite way to enjoy potatoes. The process can be long, but I have found a delicious way to enjoy these that cuts the time down! They are a fun take on sour cream and onion flavors and can be made in the air fryer. It is an easy way to make delicious appetizers!

First, get yourself a bag of golden potatoes. I like the bag because usually they are a bit smaller. You want to find potatoes about 3- 4 inches long. Since twice baked potatoes are not peeled, thoroughly wash your potatoes with warm water and a bit of soap and scrub. Once washed, pat dry and season with olive oil and garlic salt.

Preheat your air fryer to 390. I fit 7 potatoes in my air fryer without over crowding. You do NOT need to pierce the potato. Air fry for about 20-30 minutes or until fork tender. While the potatoes are frying, dice one onion and sauté with 1 tbsp of oil, 1 tsp of salt, and 2 tsp of sugar. These will caramelize nicely. Set aside.

Once your potatoes are done, let cool for about 5-10 minutes until you can comfortably hold them. Cut potato in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the center without piercing the sides or the bottom of the potato. Put all of the insides in a bowl and add butter, heavy cream, sour cream, caramelized onions, and garlic salt. Mix well. Restuff the potatoes. Sprinkle on a little cheese. Re-air fry for 10 minutes for the cheese to melt. Sprinkle with chives and enjoy!

If you only have an oven, you can do this by baking at 375 for 30-40 minutes or until fork tender. Follow instructions and rebake for 10-15 until the cheese is melted.
