Air Fryer Baked Potato
These Air Fryer Baked Potatoes are coated lightly in olive oil and salt, then cooked at high heat until tender inside with a slightly crisp skin. The method uses an air fryer for a convenient way to bake potatoes without heating a full oven, yielding a fluffy interior ready for toppings like butter, chives, bacon, and sour cream. This preparation is practical for quick meals or side dishes.
Ingredients
- 5 potato
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Lightly coat your potatoes (after washing and patting dry) with some oil and sprinkle some salt on. Prick them 3-4 times across the surface with a fork.
- Place the potatoes into your airfryer, making sure there’s space to allow the hot air to circulate between them.
- Turn your airfryer on and set it to 400F for 25 minutes. No preheating is necessary!
- After 25 minutes, open your airfryer and give the potatoes a gentle squeeze on the side to see if they’re done. They should be squish-able! If they’re still hard, let them cook for another 5-10 minutes.
- Once done, split them open and put your choice of toppings on them! I had a mix of butter, chives, bacon, and sour cream.
