Description

A perfectly crispy and fluffy baked potato made easily in the air fryer, ideal as a side dish or light meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry with a towel.
  3. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  4. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  5. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
  6. Cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  7. Remove from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, then slice open and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary based on potato size and air fryer model.
  • Add toppings like sour cream, cheese, or chives for extra flavor.
  • Use a fork to test doneness—potatoes should be soft in the center.
