Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Russet potatoes up to 4
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer on 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
  • You are going to want to leave some space between your potatoes, so for a smaller air fryer, you'll be able to cook 2 large baked potatoes or 3 medium-sized. Larger air fryers will accommodate 4-6 potatoes.
  • Flip your potatoes once when they start turning brown, about 20-25 minutes into cooking. Medium-sized potatoes take about 35-40+ minutes total, where large baked potatoes take about 40-45 mins to cook.
  • Serve with any toppings desired such as butter, sour cream, bacon, chives, or shredded cheese.

Notes

  • For best results, use potatoes that are uniform in size. This will help ensure even cooking.
  • Preheating your air fryer is recommended to ensure your air fryer baked potatoes begin cooking as soon as you place them in the unit.
  • Be sure to dry your potatoes fully before adding the oil and salt to ensure an extra crispy skin.
  • Russett potatoes are always your best choice for the perfect baked potato.
  • Leaving space between your potatoes allows the heat in the air fryer to circulate evenly around the potatoes.
  • We do recommend that you flip the potatoes after 20-25 minutes. Continue cooking until they are
  • Baked potatoes are the ultimate blank canvas - feel free to experiment with your choice of toppings.
