Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they have enough space for air to circulate. Cook for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through until the skin is crisp and the potatoes feel soft inside when pierced with a fork.
Prepare the Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Filling
- While the potatoes cook, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped spinach, and artichoke hearts.
- Add the minced garlic, fresh parsley, and basil. Mix until everything is well incorporated. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Scoop and Mix the Potato Filling
- Once the potatoes are fully cooked, carefully remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the insides of each potato half, leaving a thin layer of potato along the edges to support the filling.
- Add the scooped-out potato insides to the bowl with the cheese and spinach mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy. If the mixture feels too thick, add a splash of milk or a bit more cream cheese.
Stuff the Potatoes
- Spoon the cheesy filling back into the hollowed-out potato skins, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top for added flavor and a golden crust.
Air Fry for a Cheesy Crust
- Arrange the stuffed potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for 5–7 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove the stuffed potatoes from the air fryer and garnish with additional fresh parsley or basil if desired. Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
