Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium Baking Potatoes
- ½ Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Course Sea Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 4 Green Onions Spring Onions
- 1 teaspoon Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Flour
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 ½ Cups Milk We used 1%
- 4 Ounces Cheddar Cheese (grated) Sharp Cheddar is also good
Bacon
- 4 Slices Bacon or use 2 ounces of bacon bits
Instructions
- Wash potatoes under cool water. Rub Olive Oil on the potatoes.
- Sprinkle each potato with coarse salt and place in Air Fryer
- Air Fry the potato for 25 to 35 minutes (depending on the potato size) at 375 degrees. When the potato is done, the skin will be crispy, and you should easily be able to poke it with a fork easily. (BTW - These are the exact steps to make an air fryer baked potato)
- Let the potato cool. Cut in half long ways and scoop out the pulp. NOTE: If you want potato skins as a snack. Just place the skins back into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Add Cheese and melt, then add your favorite toppings like bacon and green onions.
- Bacon - either Air Fry or Bake. OR use Bacon Bits! If using Air Fryer: Place Bacon in Air Fryer. Cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip the bacon and cook for an additional 3 - 4 minutes until the bacon is crispy. Set aside, one excellent chop for topping.
- Chop the green onions (spring onions).
- On medium heat, melt butter in a saucepan. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and half of the green onions. Reserve the other half of the onions for topping on the soup. Sauté the mixture for about 30 seconds to one minute.
- Stir in the flour. Whisk in all the milk. Slowly heat the milk until it is hot, about 10 minutes. Do NOT Boil.
- Cut the scooped-out potato into bite-size pieces, then stir into the milk mixture.
- Gently stir in the Cheddar Cheese. Heat until the Cheese is melted.
- Top with the bacon (or bacon bits) cheese and green spring onions
- Enjoy!!!
