Air Fryer Baked Potatoes

1. Stage

Prepare the air fryer and potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F if your air fryer requires preheating. If your air fryer has multiple settings, use the “air fry” setting.  Wash and scrub the potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. Poke each potato all around about 16 times with a fork. Rub each potato with 3/4 teaspoon olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt.

2. Stage

Air fry the potatoes: Place the potatoes into the basket of the air fryer, leaving about 1 inch between each potato. Return the basket to the fryer and cook at 390°F until the potatoes are fork tender and the skin is golden brown and crisp, 40 to 50 minutes, flipping each potato halfway through cooking.

3. Stage

Serve: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer with a pair of tongs. Using a sharp knife, slice each potato through the top lengthwise (without cutting all the way through) to reveal the steamy interior.  Use a fork to fluff the insides of the potato. Season and top as desired with more salt, freshly ground black pepper, unsalted butter, shredded sharp cheddar, sour cream, and/or scallions. Serve immediately while the insides are still hot and the skin is still crispy.  The potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.  Did you love the recipe?
