Air Fryer Loaded Potatoes

I love cooking some loaded potatoes in the air fryer as they cook to be deliciously crisp and full of flavor.

These loaded potatoes are absolutely full of flavor, and that is thanks to the delicious topping. The topping consists of crispy bacon, mozzarella, and a sprinkling of parsley. It is a simple combination but will have you going back for more. You can use our delicious topping combination, or you can come up with your own.

You will get roughly four to six serves out of this recipe. I usually find one potato is enough for one person, but you may need to adjust the recipe if you have larger or smaller potatoes. I typically do not serve any extra side dishes, but a light salad will work if you want something to go with the potatoes.

You can also cook plain baked potatoes in the air fryer without much effort. The baked potatoes are great for a simple side dish. However, I prefer to add a few more ingredients, so they are more flavorsome.

One of my favorite toppings is a combination of homemade chili and cheddar cheese. To finish it off, I usually use a dollop of either sour cream or guacamole. Of course, you can always use some store-bought chili if you do not have time to make some at home.

A simple combination of steamed broccoli and cheese makes for an excellent topping. You can use any cheese, but I like a combination of cheddar cheese and mozzarella. I recommend chopping the broccoli so it fits onto the potato easily.

Any shredded meat will work great as a topping. For example, shredded beef, pulled pork, or shredded chicken will match nicely with the potato. I recommend adding some extra ingredients such as cheese and onion.

My last topping idea is to make homemade salsa. You can top the salsa with a combination of parmesan and cheddar cheese for even more flavor. It is a simple topping but is incredibly delicious.
