Toppings of your choice (such as butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon bits, etc.)
Instructions:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Use a fork to pierce each potato several times on all sides. This allows steam to escape while they cook.
Rub each potato with olive oil or spray them lightly with cooking spray. This helps to crisp up the skin.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Once preheated, place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily and the potato feels soft, they’re done.
Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before handling.
Once cooled slightly, slice each potato open lengthwise and fluff up the insides with a fork.
Season with salt and add your favorite toppings such as butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon bits, or any other toppings you prefer.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy and fluffy Air Fryer Baked Potatoes!
These potatoes make a perfect side dish for any meal, and they’re incredibly versatile, allowing you to customize them with your favorite toppings. Plus, using the air fryer saves time and energy compared to traditional oven baking.
