Air fryer baked potatoes are incredibly easy to make and come out perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (or coarse kosher salt)
Optional Toppings
- Butter
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheese
- Chives or green onions, chopped
- Bacon bits
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes:
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Season the Potatoes:
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with sea salt, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other for even cooking.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The potatoes are done when they are tender inside and have a crispy skin.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Add your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon bits, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy your perfectly crispy and fluffy air fryer baked potatoes!
