Ultimate Air Fryer Baked Potatoes

by

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

 

1️⃣ Prep the Potatoes

  • Scrub potatoes under running water and pat dry thoroughly—dry skin crisps better.
  • Use a fork to poke several holes in each potato to release steam.
  • Rub each potato with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

2️⃣ Air Fry to Perfection

  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes (if needed).
  • Place potatoes in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them.
  • Cook for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skins are crisp and insides are tender. Time may vary based on potato size.

3️⃣ Check for Doneness

  • Insert a fork or skewer into the center—it should glide in easily.
  • If needed, cook in 5-minute increments until fully tender.

  • 4️⃣ Serve & Customize

    • Let potatoes cool slightly, then slice open and fluff with a fork.
    • Add your favorite toppings and dig in!

    🧠 Tips for Potato Success

    • Pick Similar Sizes: Uniform potatoes cook evenly.
    • Don’t Skip the Oil: It’s key to that golden, crispy skin.
    • Flip Midway: Ensures even crisping on all sides.
    • Save & Reheat: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to bring back the crunch.
