The Best Air Fryer Baked Potatoes

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

Give your oven a rest and try this baked potato in an air fryer instead. The skin is crispy while the flesh stays tender. Garnish with sour cream, chives or your favorite fixings. If your air fryer can't fit all four potatoes at once, you can cook in batches.

Ingredients:
  • 4 (8-ounce) russet potatoes, scrubbed and patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • light sour cream or plain yogurt for serving (optional)
  • chopped fresh chives for garnish (optional)
Directions:
  1. Preheat a 6-quart or larger air fryer to 390°F for 5 minutes. Prick potatoes all over (about 16 times) with a fork. Rub the potatoes evenly with oil; sprinkle all over with pepper and salt.
  2. Arrange the potatoes about 1 inch apart in the air-fryer basket.
  3. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender and the skins are golden brown and crisp, about 50 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Slice in half lengthwise. If desired, serve with sour cream (or yogurt) and garnish with chives.
