Pro tips

• For best results, add the frozen skins directly to the air fryer without thawing them.
• You can also put the potato skins into a preheated air fryer so they crisp up better.

Equipment needed

Making potato skins in the air fryer is the best way to cook them for maximum crispiness. The air fryer works by circulating hot air around the potato skins to ensure sure all parts are baked to perfection.

Depending on the type of air fryer you have, it may have a basket or a tray. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also make this recipe in a conventional oven, but I recommend an air fryer to get the best results! Plus cooking in the air fryer takes way less time!

There are a lot of different brands of air fryers, but some popular ones are:

• Instant Vortex 4-in-1 Air Fryer
• Ninja Foodi
• Instant Pot Vortex Plus

Air fryers are so great for getting food extra crispy without having to fry them in oil. You will never want to make potato skins or french fries in the regular oven again!

Ingredients

You will need one package of frozen potato skins for this easy recipe. You can use any brand, but I like TGI Friday’s potato skins.
