Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Baked Potato

Preheat the Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it heat for about 5 minutes.
Scrub the medium potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork, rub with oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the timer for 35-40 minutes and check for doneness.
Remove the basket and let the potatoes rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice open the baked potatoes, fluff the interior with a fork, and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

Choose russet potatoes for the fluffiest interior and ensure they are pierced to prevent bursting during cooking.
