🥔 Air Fryer Baked Potato
📝 Ingredients:
-
2–4 medium russet potatoes (scrubbed and dried)
-
1–2 tsp olive oil
-
Salt (coarse/kosher preferred)
-
Optional: garlic powder or pepper for extra flavor
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prep the Potatoes:
-
Scrub and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
-
Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to let steam escape.
-
Rub all over with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt (and any seasonings you like).
2. Air Fry:
-
Place in the air fryer basket with space between each potato.
-
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 35–45 minutes, depending on size.
Flip halfway through for even cooking. -
Check doneness by inserting a knife or skewer — it should slide in easily.
3. Serve:
-
Let rest a few minutes, then slice open, fluff with a fork, and add your favorite toppings.
🧂 Topping Ideas:
-
Butter, sour cream, chives
-
Cheese and bacon bits
-
Steamed broccoli & cheddar

Chili or taco meat for a meal-style baked potato
🔁 Tips:
-
For smaller potatoes, reduce time to 25–30 minutes.
-
For extra crispy skin, finish with a few extra minutes after the first check.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 5–8 minutes.
