These Air Fryer Potato Skins are my favorite way to enjoy a healthier snack, which in my opinion, tastes better than chips! This recipe happens to be a beloved snack I’ve been making for years. The potato peels are the best part of the 🥔 potato but most people don’t know how good they taste (and how much nutritional value they have) and throw them away. I promise you will never toss them again once you try this recipe. These crispy potato skins are perfect with sour cream, tzatziki or any creamy dip.
