Instructions

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and pat dry.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Rub each potato with 1 tsp olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skins are crisp and a fork easily pierces the center.
Remove potatoes and let cool for 3-5 minutes.
Slice each potato open lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork.
Top each with 1 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp shredded cheddar, and 1 tbsp chopped chives.
Serve hot, with extra toppings as desired.
