Easy Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
Description
Easy Air Fryer Baked Potatoes focus on simplicity, using just russet potatoes, olive oil, and kosher salt. The preparation starts by washing, drying, and poking holes to allow steam to escape during cooking. Coating each potato with olive oil and salt creates a flavorful and crisp skin. Cooking in an air fryer at 390°F for about 30 minutes cooks the potatoes evenly while maintaining a fluffy interior. The staggered placement ensures hot air circulates well for even cooking.
Once done, the potatoes can be split open to reveal the steaming soft inside, ready for a variety of toppings or sides. This method saves time and energy compared to traditional oven baking. It’s practical for anyone wanting a straightforward baked potato with a textured skin and soft center.
Ingredients
- 2 russet potato
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Wash, pat dry, and poke holes in all the potatoes.
- Cover the potatoes with oil and salt. Place them in the air fryer basket, leaving at least an inch of space between each. Air fry them at 390°F for at least 30 minutes, or until you can pierce them easily with a fork.
- Using a knife, split the potatoes in the center. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
