Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 cup cooked chopped spinach, drained

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

2 cooked bacon strips, crumbled

1 green onion, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped

1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Preheat air fryer to 400°. Brush potatoes with oil. Place on ungreased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until potatoes are tender, 30-40 minutes; cool slightly.

2. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving a ¼-inch thick shell. In a large bowl, mash the potato pulp; stir in spinach, ¾ cup cheese, bacon, onion, pecans, cranberries, butter, salt and pepper. Spoon into potato shells, mounding slightly.

3. Reduce heat to 360º. Place potato halves, cut side up, in air-fryer basket. Cook 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup cheese; cook until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.
