TIPS FOR MAKING AIR FRY BREAKFAST POTATO SKINS

• Choose large russet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Scrub the potatoes clean and dry them with a paper towel.
• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
• Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while cooking.
• Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the air fryer basket and let them cool for a few minutes.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato in the skins.
• Brush the potato skins with a thin layer of olive oil and sprinkle them with salt.
• Place the potato skins back in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
• While the potato skins are cooking, prepare your breakfast filling of choice. Popular options include scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and green onions.
• Once the potato skins are cooked, fill them with your breakfast filling of choice and serve immediately.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to make delicious and crispy Air Fryer Breakfast Potato Skins that are sure to become a breakfast favorite. Enjoy!
