Air Fryer Baked Potato
Description
The recipe begins by washing and drying russet potatoes, which are then pierced multiple times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking. The potatoes are sprayed generously with a nonstick cooking spray and sprinkled with sea salt to enhance the skin texture and flavor.
Air frying at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for an initial 30 minutes, followed by flipping and additional 10 to 20 minutes, cooks the potatoes until tender when tested with a fork. The result is a classic baked potato with a soft, fluffy interior and a skin that is slightly crisp without wrapping in foil.
Once cooked, the potato is sliced open and can be topped with butter, sour cream, bacon, or fresh herbs to suit preference. The recipe notes that different air fryer models and potato sizes require time adjustments, and leftovers can be refrigerated for up to four days.
