These twice-baked potatoes in the air fryer pair well with just about everything! Serve them alongside a juicy steak or grilled chicken for a classic combo, or enjoy them with a warm bowl of soup or chili for the ultimate cozy meal. If you’re looking to balance things out, a fresh salad makes a great lighter contrast to the rich, cheesy filling of the potatoes.
