Ninja Air Fryer Baked Potato
Description
Start by cleaning the potatoes thoroughly and drying them, then poke holes with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking. Coating the potato skin with neutral oil and coarse sea salt gives the skin a crisp, flavorful crust when air fried at 200°C (392°F).
The potatoes are cooked in the air fryer for about 30 minutes, then flipped and cooked for another 20 to 30 minutes depending on size. The doneness can be checked by measuring the internal temperature with a thermometer (205°F to 212°F) or by piercing with a fork until tender.
Once cooked, a slit on top releases steam and maintains skin crispness. This baked potato can be served with toppings like sour cream, butter, or chives, making a filling side dish or base for various toppings.
The notes remind cooks that nutritional values vary with product choice and stress using a thermometer or fork for reliable doneness checks, avoiding undercooked or overcooked results.
Ingredients
- 3-4 russet potato medium
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil or non-aerosol cooking spray, generic cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt or more, to taste, coarse
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes under clean running water, then dry them using a kitchen towel.
- Preheat your air fryer at 200°C (392°F).
- Using a fork, poke holes on each side of the potatoes, and rub the sides with cooking oil.
- Without overcrowding, place the potatoes inside your air fryer and then generously sprinkle coarse sea salt on top of each potato.
- Air fry for 30 minutes. Flip and air fry for a further 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. (See notes on how to check whether the potatoes are done).
- Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer basket, and cut a slit on top to release the steam (this also helps keep the skin crispy). Serve your air fryer baked potatoes with sour cream and chives, butter, or your favorite toppings!
Notes
- Use an internal thermometer to check potato doneness; it should read between 205°F and 212°F in the thickest part.
- Alternatively, test doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily and the potato should feel tender.
- Nutritional values are estimates and may vary based on specific products used.
