Instructions
To bake the potatoes in an air fryer:
Spray the potatoes all over with Pam cooking spray, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper (no need to pierce with a fork). Cook the potatoes in the air fryer at 400 for 40 minutes.
To bake the potatoes in the oven:
Spray the potatoes all over with Pam cooking spray, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Stab the potatoes all over (about 10 times) with a fork, and place on a large baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 45 minutes, until the skin is tender to the touch.
Assembly:
Allow potatoes to cool before cutting them. The potatoes can be baked hours ahead of time. Allow to rest at room temperature until assembling.
Preheat the oven to 375.
Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the insides out into a large bowl. Place the empty potato shells in a large baking dish. Bake the shells at 375 for 10 minutes until crisp, remove from the oven, and set aside.
In the bowl with the cooked potato, add the chopped bacon, butter, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Add in a pinch each of Kosher salt and pepper. Mix until combined with a fork. Stir in the heavy whipping cream. Spoon a bit of the potato mixture into each potato shell.
Bake at 375 for 12 minutes. Turn the oven up to broil. Broil 3-5 minutes, until tops are golden bubbly. Garnish with green onions.
