Method
1 - Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
2 - Rub the potatoes with olive oil and a little salt.
3 - Air fry for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp outside and fluffy inside.
4 - Allow them to cool slightly.
5 - Slice each potato in half lengthways.
6 - Carefully scoop out most of the middle, leaving enough potato behind to keep the skins sturdy.
7 - In a bowl combine the crab meat, spring onions, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and half the grated cheese.
8 - Mix thoroughly.
9 - Return the empty potato skins to the air fryer for 5 minutes until extra crispy.
10 - Fill each skin generously with the crab mixture.
11 - Top with the remaining cheddar.
12 - Air fry for 4–6 minutes until the cheese melts, bubbles, and starts colouring around the edges.
13 - Finish with parsley or chilli flakes if using.
Serve immediately while still hot and gloriously unstable.
