🥔 Air Fryer Baked Potato (Crispy Skin, Fluffy Inside)
Ingredients (simple & classic)
2 large russet potatoes
1–2 tbsp olive oil
Salt (kosher or sea salt)
Optional toppings
Butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon bits, garlic butter, or whatever you love 😋
Instructions
Prep the potatoes
Wash and scrub well. Pat completely dry.
Use a fork to poke each potato 5–6 times (important!).
Season
Rub potatoes all over with olive oil.
Sprinkle generously with salt.
Air fry
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place potatoes directly in the basket (no foil).
Cook for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skin is crispy and a knife slides in easily.
Fluff & serve
Slice open, squeeze the ends to fluff the inside, add butter and your favorite toppings.
Pro Tips 🔥
For extra-crispy skin, add a tiny bit more oil and salt before cooking.
Short on time? Microwave potatoes 5 minutes first, then air fry 12–15 minutes.
Works great with sweet potatoes too (same method).
