Craving that classic baked potato experience but short on time? Look no further than your air fryer! This recipe delivers perfectly cooked potatoes in under an hour, boasting a delightfully crisp, seasoned skin and a fluffy, light interior.

Ingredients

  • 2-4 Russet potatoes (depending on size)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes under running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Season the Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add a sprinkle of your favorite optional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
  3. Preheating (Optional): While some air fryers recommend preheating, it's not always necessary. Consult your air fryer's manual for guidance.
  4. Air Frying: Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for good air circulation. Don't overcrowd the basket.
  5. Cook: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
  6. Test for Doneness: A fork should easily pierce through the center of the potato. The skin should be golden brown and crisp.
  7. Rest and Serve: Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before slicing them open. Fluff the insides with a fork and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, cheese, or chili.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, you can parboil the potatoes before air frying. Simply boil them whole for 10 minutes, then let them cool completely before drying and seasoning them.
If your air fryer has multiple layers, you can cook more potatoes at once. Just be sure to rotate the baskets halfway through cooking for even results.
Cooking times may vary depending on the size and wattage of your air fryer. Start checking for doneness after 40 minutes and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
