Achieve the ultimate crispy skin and fluffy interior with this simple air fryer baked potato recipe. It cooks faster than the oven and guarantees perfect results every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • Pinch of black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Scrub the potatoes well under cold water. Dry them completely with a paper towel.
  2. Use a fork to prick each potato deeply 6 to 8 times all over. This lets steam escape.
  3. Rub the outside of each potato evenly with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle the coarse salt and pepper over the oiled skin. The salt helps draw out moisture for crispiness.
  5. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
  6. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on size. Check for doneness at 30 minutes.
  7. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even crisping.
  8. The potato is done when the skin is crunchy and a fork slides easily into the center.
  9. Slice open immediately and fluff the inside with a fork before adding your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Ensure your potatoes are completely dry before oiling; moisture prevents crisping.
  • For extra crispy skin, you can lightly rub the skin with a small amount of butter after cooking, just before serving.
  • Adjust cooking time based on potato size; smaller potatoes need less time.
  • Do not stack potatoes in the air fryer basket for best airflow and crisping.
