Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
Description
Air Fryer Baked Potatoes start by thoroughly cleaning and drying russet potatoes. They are tossed with extra virgin olive oil, kosher or sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to season the skins. The potatoes are arranged in the air fryer spaced apart to promote even cooking.
Set to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the potatoes typically cook for around 35 minutes, but timing depends on size and model. Testing doneness by inserting a fork is recommended; if it doesn’t glide easily, additional 5-minute increments are added until tender. This produces potatoes with a crispy, flavorful skin and soft interior akin to traditional baking but faster.
These baked potatoes can be served as a side or topped for a main dish. Reheating is convenient in the air fryer at a lower temperature for a few minutes to retain the crispy skin and warm inside.
Ingredients
- 4 medium/large russet potato
- 1-2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
- ½ TBS coarse salt kosher or sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
Notes
- Reheat baked potatoes in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes to restore warmth and crisp skin.
- Adjust cooking times based on potato size and air fryer model, checking doneness by fork test.
