Serve them hot from the air fryer with cool sour cream - or greek yogurt, if you prefer. The potato skins are also delicious with other creamy condiments like ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or any number of dipping sauces. And I suggest topping them with some sliced green onions or chives right before serving for a POP of freshness!
You can also get super creative here and load them with more hearty baked potato toppings. Try potato skins with meaty chili, thick broccoli cheese sauce or plain cheese sauce, or taco meat with avocado slices.
To make any meal a party consider pairing loaded skins with other snacks like TGI Fridays chicken wings, stuffed jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, or cheeseburger sliders. These are all great to serve as an appetizer or side dish alongside casual dinner dishes! Enjoy them with burgers, ribs, grilled or fried chicken... Any classic barbecue or comfort food favorites!
