The best thing about potato skins is the ability to customise them and get a different mouthful with every skin. Air fryers make them extra crunchy too.

Press GO to start step-by-step mode and keep your screen awake as you cook.
Step 1.
Heat the air fryer to 170°C. Pierce your potatoes all over with a fork. Rub oil all over the spuds and then sprinkle them with salt.
Step 2.
Pop the potatoes into the air-fryer basket and cook for 20 mins, then up the temperature to 200°C for a further 15 mins, until the flesh is tender.
Step 3.
Remove the potatoes from the basket and cut each one in half. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl, reserving the skins, and set aside.
Step 4.
Separate out one quarter of the flesh into a different bowl (serve this as mashed potatoes on the side!) and mix it with the butter and almost all of the cheese (leave enough for sprinkling just before cooking). Season with salt and pepper. Then spoon equal amounts of the cheesy potato back into the skins.
Step 5.
Sprinkle the potato skins with pancetta and the remaining cheese and return them to the air fryer.
Step 6.
Cook for 10 mins, until the pancetta is cooked and the skins are crispy. Remove and garnish with the spring onion.
