Make the perfect air fryer baked potato every time. You get a wonderfully crispy skin and a light, fluffy interior using this simple, quick method. This recipe is designed for speed and texture perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Scrub the potatoes well under running water. Dry them completely with a paper towel. This step is key for crispy skin.
  2. Pierce each potato 5-6 times deeply with a fork.
  3. Rub each potato all over with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with coarse salt and black pepper.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket.
  6. Air fry for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. Cooking time depends on potato size.
  7. Check for doneness by squeezing the potato gently; it should yield easily. The internal temperature should register 205°F (96°C).
  8. Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Slice open the top lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork.
  9. Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the potatoes are completely dry before oiling for the best crisp.
  • Do not skip piercing the potatoes; this allows steam to escape.
  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly rub the skin with a little extra salt after the first 20 minutes of cooking.
  • If your air fryer runs hot, start checking for doneness around the 30-minute mark.
