Comfort food just got quicker and easier courtesy of your air fryer. These crispy potatoes may seem indulgent, but smart portions of bacon, cheese, and sour cream add big flavor while keeping calories and sat fat in check. The secret is the center-cut bacon—it cooks up nice and crispy, and yields just enough pan drippings to make these potatoes really shine. Serve these tender-crispy spuds with a skillet-seared steak and a side of your favorite steamed veggies for a quick and easy supper.
How to Make It
Toss potatoes with oil to coat. Place potatoes in air fryer basket, and cook at 350°F until fork tender, 25 minutes, stirring potatoes occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium until crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Place potatoes on a serving platter; lightly crush potatoes to split. Drizzle with bacon drippings. Top with chives, cheese, sour cream, salt, and crumbled bacon.
