Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
These air fryer baked potatoes have golden, crispy skins and soft, fluffy insides that can be stuffed with any of your favorite toppings. Plus, they are ready in less time than baking in the oven!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F while you prep your potatoes.
- Wash the russet potatoes well and pat them dry.
- Poke each potato at least 5 times with a fork.
- Rub the potatoes on all sides with olive oil and sprinkle them with kosher salt.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer and cook them at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
- Flip the potatoes and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Slice and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy immediately or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Notes
- Russet potatoes are the classic “baking” potato. I’m using potatoes that are about 5” long and 2” wide.
- Olive oil helps the skin on the potato crisp and helps the salt stick. Feel free to use your favorite neutral cooking oil.
- Kosher salt creates that crisp, salty potato skin that we all love! I highly recommend kosher or sea salt, not table salt.
- Topping options:
- Butter
- Sour Cream
- Shredded Cheese
- Crisp Bacon Bits
- Chili
- Sliced Green Onion
