Perfect Baked Potatoes in the Air Fryer in 40 Minutes


  • Author: ushinzomr

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

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
  3. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
  4. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are fully coated. Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly over each potato.
  5. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
  6. Cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
  7. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the potato; it should slide in easily. If needed, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  8. 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.
