Tried a Blooming Baked Potato in the Air Fryer… and WOW 😍🔥
This might honestly be the best way to make potatoes that I’ve ever tried!
I wasn’t sure what to expect the first time, but the moment I pulled it out of the air fryer, I knew this was going to be a repeat recipe in my house. The outside gets perfectly crispy and golden, while the inside stays soft, fluffy, and buttery. Every slice opens up like a flower, soaking in all that seasoning and flavor 🤤
What I love most is how easy this is. No deep frying, no waiting forever for the oven, and no complicated steps. Just slice, season, and let the air fryer do its magic. It looks fancy enough to serve guests, but simple enough for a busy weeknight.
We topped ours with butter, cheese, and a little sour cream, but you can seriously customize it any way you want—garlic butter, bacon bits, herbs, or even keep it simple with just salt and olive oil. It’s the kind of side dish that accidentally becomes the star of the meal 😋
My family was fighting over the last piece, and now they’re already asking when I’m making it again. If you’re a potato lover, this is one of those recipes you’ll want to save immediately and make on repeat.
If you’ve tried blooming potatoes before, you know how good they are… but if you haven’t, this is your sign.
Say YUMMY 🥔🔥 if you’re adding this to your air fryer list!
