Description
Simple method for making fluffy baked potatoes using an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes well under running water. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
- Pierce each potato several times deeply with a fork.
- Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over the skins.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
- Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
- Check for doneness by squeezing the potato; it should yield easily. If not done, continue cooking in 5-minute increments.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- For crispier skin, you can lightly rub the oiled potatoes with a small amount of extra salt before cooking.
- If your potatoes are very large, you may need to increase the cooking time by 5 to 10 minutes.
