Toppings
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Add russet potatoes to the air fryer basket, spray evenly with cooking spray, and season with salt to taste.

- Prepare Toppings: Grate the cheddar cheese and slice the green onions, then set aside for assembling.
- Assemble Potatoes: Remove potatoes from the air fryer and slice each down the center lengthwise. Add butter and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and sliced green onions generously over the potatoes.
- Serve: Serve the fully loaded baked potatoes with a dollop of sour cream on the side. Enjoy warm!

- For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey bacon and add extra cheese or sautéed vegetables.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- Be sure to spray the potatoes well with cooking spray to achieve a crispy skin.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook potatoes in batches to ensure even cooking.
