Make-Your-Own Potato Skins Bar

MAKES: 36 halves

COOK TIME: 26 Min

These pint-sized potato skins are going to be a hit at your next get-together. To make them, we sort of “bake” them until they’re tender. Then, after scooping out the pulp, we air-fry them until they’re crispy. Whether you serve these at your family reunion or during the holidays, you can bet everyone’s going to be talking about ‘em.

What You'll Need

1 (28-ounce) bag baby red potatoes (creamers)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt

What to Do

Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees F. Add whole potatoes to air fryer basket, in batches if necessary, and air-fry 18 to 20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Remove potatoes from basket, let cool slightly, then cut each in half. (Careful, these babies are gonna be hot!) Using a spoon, scoop out some of the potato pulp, leaving about 1/4-inch of the pulp around the edges. (Save scooped potato pulp for another use.)
In a large bowl, toss potato skins with oil and kosher salt, coating evenly. Return potato skins to basket, in batches if necessary, and cook at 400 degrees F. 8 to 9 minutes or until crispy. Make sure you shake the basket a couple of times during cooking to ensure potatoes brown evenly.
Serve potato skins with bowls of everyone’s favorite toppings, like sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chili, scallions and crumbled bacon.

I love how crispy these get using the air fryer! Potato skins are always a favorite on game day, and the topping possibilities are endless! I like to make a Mexican version using leftover taco meat and toppings, and have even had great results making a breakfast version with shredded cheese, cubed ham, and eggs!
