Crispy Air Fryer Baked Potato Perfection! 🥔
Get perfectly crispy-skinned baked potatoes with a fluffy interior, made quick and easy in your air fryer. A healthy and delicious side dish for any meal!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3-4 Russet potatoes medium to large
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)
- 1-2 teaspoons sea salt or kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep Your Potatoes: Give your Russet potatoes a good scrub under water and dry them completely for that super crispy skin. Use a fork to poke holes all around each potato – this helps steam escape and prevents explosions!
- Season Them Up: Drizzle each potato with a little olive oil, spreading it evenly. Then, sprinkle generously with sea salt. Don't be shy; this adds great flavor and helps create a delicious crust.
- Air Fry Time: Carefully place the seasoned potatoes into your air fryer basket, ensuring they have a little space between them so they cook evenly. Set your air fryer to 400°F.
- Cook to Perfection: Air fry for 25-30 minutes, then flip them over. Continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until a knife slides easily into the center, indicating they're perfectly tender inside.
- Serve & Enjoy: Take the potatoes out, carefully slice them open, and fluff the insides with a fork. Add your favorite healthy toppings like Greek yogurt, chives, or a sprinkle of pepper, and dig in!
