Pierce each potato with a fork all over its surface.

Rub each potato with oil, then sprinkle all over with a generous pinch of salt.

Place potatoes in air fryer basket, then cook at 400° Fahrenheit for 35 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through cooking.

Remove potatoes from air fryer basket, slice down the center and split each potato open exposing the inside flesh. Top with butter, shredded cheese, sour cream, chives, crispy bacon, additional salt, and black pepper.
