Air Fryer Loaded Potato Skins
These loaded potato skins are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor, perfect for Bonfire Night.
How to Make It
Start by baking small potatoes in the air fryer until tender (about 20 minutes at 380°F).
Once cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop out some of the flesh, creating a small well. Brush with a little olive oil, then return them to the air fryer to crisp up for about 5 minutes.
Add shredded cheese, crumbled veggie or traditional bacon, and pop back in until the cheese is melted. Garnish with sour cream and chives.
These potato skins are the perfect finger food, warm, cheesy, and satisfying. Plus, the air fryer makes them wonderfully crisp without much added oil. You can also check out this recipe for a visual idea.

Corn ribs are a fun twist on corn on the cob and cook perfectly in the air fryer with a smoky seasoning that makes them Bonfire Night-ready.
How to Make It
Cut corn cobs into quarters lengthwise to create “ribs” (be careful, as it can be tough to slice).
Brush with a mixture of olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and a bit of garlic powder. Place in the air fryer and cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, until crispy on the edges and tender in the middle.
Corn ribs are easy to eat, with a great smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with a night by the fire. They’re fun to grab and packed with flavor, and they can even be served with a squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of parmesan.
