Crispy Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
Making baked potatoes in the air fryer is super easy to do, and yields crispy skin ever time.
Ingredients
- 3 russet potatoes, large
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Optional toppings:
- salt, black pepper, butter, chives cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Brush olive oil on all sides of the potatoes. You can also use cooking spray. Then, sprinkle with salt.
- Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Air fry for 60 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time.
- Once the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, remove them from the air fryer. I recommend you use tongs to keep your hands safe, the potatoes will be hot!
- Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before slicing them open with a knife.
Notes
To check doneness, the potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork with no resistance. You can also squeeze the sides of the potato to see if they give under pressure.
