This recipe is one our youngest son shared with us, one he enjoys making for his family and it is a game charger from making baked potatoes.

Your main ingredient is POTATO!!!!

This is a quick and easy recipe and one you can make for a pot luck meal or family event!!!

Bacon is another ingredient that is a tasty choice of toppings to use.

Our son said he likes to make this meal a little different each time and changing it with different spices, seasonings, cheeses, or compliments.

After potatoes are boiled and fork tender, remove from water and place on a oiled pan. If you are baking in your air fryer. If you are baking in the oven use a sheet of parchment paper to line the pan.

Add the potatoes one per serving, top with olive oil, shredded cheese, a pinch of seasonings or spices of choice. Then top with green onion or chives, bake in your air fryer for 10 minutes on 350ºf or 360ºf. You can also bake in the oven on 350ºF for 10 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
