simple recipe for making baked potatoes in an air fryer:

Ingredients:

  • Potatoes (russet or your preferred variety)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon bits, etc.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
  3. Poke the Potatoes: Using a fork, pierce each potato a few times. This helps steam escape during cooking.
  4. Coat with Olive Oil: Lightly coat each potato with olive oil. You can do this by rubbing the potatoes with your hands or using a brush. This helps give the skin a crispy texture.
  5. Season with Salt: Sprinkle salt over the oiled potatoes. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
  6. Place in the Air Fryer: Arrange the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. If needed, cook them in batches.
  7. Cooking Time: Cook the potatoes in the preheated air fryer for about 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of your potatoes and the specific air fryer model, so it’s a good idea to check for doneness by inserting a fork. The potatoes are done when the fork easily pierces the flesh.
  8. Optional: Crisp Up the Skin (if needed): If you prefer an extra crispy skin, you can spray a little more oil on the potatoes and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  9. Serve: Once the potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato open and fluff the insides with a fork. Add your favorite toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, or bacon bits.
  10. Enjoy: Serve the air-fried baked potatoes while they are still hot and enjoy a delicious and crispy side dish!
