Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for air-fried baked potatoes:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- Olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
- Toppings of your choice: sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped chives, bacon bits, etc.
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes:
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Poke Holes:
- Use a fork to prick each potato several times on all sides. This helps steam escape during cooking.
- Coat with Oil and Salt:
- Lightly brush each potato with olive oil or vegetable oil. Sprinkle salt evenly over the potatoes, coating them on all sides.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Potatoes:
- Once preheated, place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each potato for air circulation.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are tender and the skin is crispy.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the potatoes and the efficiency of your air fryer. Check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center of the potatoes; they should be soft and easily pierced.
- Serve:
- Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the air fryer.
- Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before handling.
- Slice each potato open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped chives, bacon bits, or any other toppings you prefer.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the air-fried baked potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or even as a light meal.
Air-frying baked potatoes is a quick and convenient way to enjoy this classic dish without heating up your oven. The result is perfectly cooked potatoes with crispy skin and fluffy interiors, ready to be topped with your favorite toppings!
