- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 84g
- 6 slices turkey bacon cooked and chopped

The cooking time will vary based on the size of your potatoes.
- While the potatoes cook, cook the turkey bacon on a skillet and chop into bite size pieces. Set aside to mix into your mashed potatoes.
- Once cooked, remove the cooked potatoes from the air fryer and slice lengthwise in half. Using a spoon remove the insides of the potatoes, leaving the skin in tact and some of the potato along the skin to help keep its shape. Place the potato flesh in a large mixing bowl. Repeat with all potato halves.
- Mash the potatoes with a fork, potato masher or hand mixer until smooth. Add the greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, butter and cooked bacon to the bowl with the potatoes and combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Evenly add the mashed potato mixture back into the skins of the potatoes. Optional: top with additional cheddar cheese.
- Place the potato halves back in the air fryer basket, you may need to work in 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
