Air Fryer Baked Potatoes

Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry.
  2. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  3. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt.

2. Air Fry the Potatoes

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not touching.
  3. Cook for 35–45 minutes, turning halfway through. Cooking time depends on the size of the potatoes. They’re done when a fork easily pierces the center.

3. Serve

  1. Slice open the potatoes and fluff the insides with a fork.
  2. Top with butter, sour cream, cheese, or any favorite toppings.

Tips:

  • For extra crispy skin, rub the potatoes with a little garlic powder or paprika along with salt.
  • You can store leftover baked potatoes in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Smaller potatoes cook faster, so adjust cooking time if needed.

If you want, I can also give a stuffed air fryer baked potato version—with cheese, bacon, and sour cream baked right inside, perfect for a meal.

Do you want me to share that version too?
