Air Fryer Baked Potato
Description
The Air Fryer Baked Potato method involves cleaning medium russet potatoes, pricking them all over with a fork, then coating them with olive oil and salt to ensure a crisp skin. The potatoes cook in an air fryer at 400°F for 40 to 50 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are tender inside as tested by a knife. Serving involves slicing the potatoes lengthwise without cutting through completely and gently opening them, which is ideal for adding toppings like sour cream and chopped chives. This technique streamlines the classic baked potato preparation, yielding a balanced crisp exterior and soft center without heating a full oven.
Ingredients
- 2 russet potato medium
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- sour cream for topping
- chives for topping
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes under running water and dry with a paper towel.
- Use a fork to poke the potatoes all over. Rub with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 40-50 minutes, depending on the size, flipping halfway through. Use a knife to poke the potato and check for doneness.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes lengthwise down the center without cutting all the way down. Gently pinch the sides of the potatoes to open and add toppings of choice.
Notes
- Select potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking in the air fryer.
