Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
Description
This recipe prepares four large russet potatoes by first scrubbing and drying them thoroughly. Each potato is coated with avocado oil and seasoned with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional dried parsley to impart flavor to the skin. Cooking in an air fryer set to 400°F for about 40-50 minutes crisps the exterior while ensuring the insides become soft and fluffy.
The air frying method avoids the need for a conventional oven and generally requires no piercing of the potatoes, though this can be done for peace of mind. The spice mixture creates a lightly herbed and aromatic skin texture that contrasts with the creamy interior. Turning the potatoes midway promotes even cooking.
This technique allows for baked potatoes with a crisp skin and tender flesh without needing to heat a whole oven. It’s suitable for a simple side dish or base for toppings such as butter, cheese, or sour cream. Exact cooking time is flexible, depending on potato size.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potato scrubbed clean and dried thoroughly
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil (or vegetable/canola)
- 2 tsp kosher salt (if using table salt, reduce the amount by half)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp parsley optional, dried
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Rub potatoes with oil, then season with salt, pepper, parsley, garlic powder and onion powder, rubbing to make sure the seasoning sticks.
Air fry
- Place potatoes in an even layer in air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 40-50 minutes (depending on the size of your potatoes), turning over halfway through cooking.
Notes
- Cooking time depends on potato size; smaller ones cook faster.
- Poking holes in the skin before air frying is optional.
- Divide oil and seasonings evenly among all potatoes for consistent flavor.
