Air fryer baked potatoes are a delicious and convenient way to enjoy a crispy-skinned potato without the need for an oven. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer baked potatoes:
Ingredients:
- Russet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Toppings of your choice (such as sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, chives, etc.)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Rub each potato with a small amount of olive oil, just enough to coat the skin.
- Sprinkle salt over the oiled potatoes, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer, leaving space between them for proper air circulation.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 35-40 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender. Cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the potatoes.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or oven mitts, as they will be hot.
- Allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes before handling.
- Slice each potato open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Serve the air fryer baked potatoes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, chives, or any other toppings you prefer.
Enjoy your crispy and flavorful air fryer baked potatoes!
