- I opt to shred my cheddar cheese myself - it melts better than the bagged stuff
- Butter definitely has different tastes from brand to brand so be sure to get one you actually enjoy the taste of
- Hood is my sour cream pick every time because it is made with high quality ingredients and their farmers pledge to not use rBST (artificial grown hormones - yuck)

If you don't have an air fryer, you can certainly opt to follow a recipe for a more traditional Twice Baked Potato.
Simple steps
Air Fry Potato until tender as you would a regular baked potato. Slice off top of potato and scoop flesh into a bowl.
Mix other filling ingredients into potatoes.
Add a little cheese and then the potato filling back into the potato skin.
Top with a little more cheese and bacon and pop back into air fryer until cheese is melted.

Going to try small potatoes with skin on and bake in silicone cupcake container - looks really good
