Description
Enjoy perfectly fluffy baked potatoes in your air fryer in just 40 minutes. This easy recipe guarantees a crispy skin and tender, fluffy interior every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: butter, sour cream, chives, cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are fully coated. Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly over each potato.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
- Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the potato; it should slide in easily. If needed, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, you can increase the cooking time by a few minutes.
- You can also experiment with different seasonings and toppings to suit your taste.
- If cooking larger potatoes, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
