Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Rub each potato with olive oil or spray with spray oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
- Preheat the air fryer to 385℉ for 3 minutes.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer at 385℉ for 40-45 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- Once the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, remove them from the air fryer. Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before slicing them open. Top them with your favorite toppings and serve.
Notes
- For the best results, choose large, firm russet potatoes. Their high starch content ensures a fluffy interior, while their uniform shape allows for even cooking.
- Pat them dry completely before applying oil and salt. This helps the skin crisp up beautifully.
- Don’t forget to poke a few holes in each potato with a fork before cooking. This allows steam to escape during cooking, preventing the potatoes from bursting.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the potatoes and the air fryer model. Check for doneness by inserting a fork; the potatoes should be tender throughout.
- Let the baked potatoes rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps the steam redistribute, making the interior even fluffier.
