Cook at 390*F for 40 minutes.
Carefully remove the potatoes, remember they will be hot.
Slice the potatoes in half and scoop out some of the insides to make a groove or valley in the potato.
Carefully place each potato skin back into the air fryer.
Top with cheese and bacon.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve with additional toppings such as sour cream and green onions.
Salt to taste.
