I love love Air Fryer Baked Potatoes! They are so easy, nutritious, and versatile.
Air Fryer Baked Potatoes are crisp on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside, making it the best cooking method for a baked potato. Try this recipe and you will always make it this way!
This easy baked potato recipe is a blank slate and can be topped with almost anything from Greek yogurt, sour cream, butter, chives/green onions, broccoli and/or cheese.
What is an air fryer?
An air fryer is a miniature convection oven. It is a countertop cooking appliance that combines a heating element and a powerful fan to circulate hot air around your food so that it cooks more evenly and efficiently than in a normal oven. Air fryers produce foods that are crispy outside and moist and tender inside.
Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Optional toppings: sour cream, greek yogurt, butter, chili, chives/green onions, broccoli and/or cheese, etc.
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes under running water then thoroughly dry with a towel.
- Pierce the potato all over with a fork, rub with oil and sprinkle all over with salt and black pepper.
- Add the potatoes to the air fryer basket. Cook the potatoes in a basket style air fryer at 400°F for 30 minutes. Flip the potatoes and cook them for an additional 5-15 minutes depending on size, or until the fork easily slides through to the center. Larger potatoes may take longer.
- Serve the potatoes split open topped with your favorite toppings.
