Crispy Air Fryer Potato Skins

Cultural Context

Potato skins have long been a popular appetizer in American cuisine, often served in pubs and at parties. They embody the spirit of comfort food, combining crispy textures with savory toppings. The air fryer version offers a healthier twist, making it easier to enjoy this classic dish without deep frying. Today, variations abound, with toppings ranging from classic cheese and bacon to gourmet options like pulled pork or avocado.
