Air-fried baked potatoes are quick and easy to make with just a few simple ingredients: starchy potatoes, a bit of oil, and salt. In only 35 to 45 minutes, the inside turns wonderfully soft and fluffy, while the skin crisps up perfectly. They’re a versatile side that pairs beautifully with butter, sour cream, or your favorite toppings.

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Meanwhile, scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat dry with paper towels.

Place the potatoes on a plate and rub them with oil and salt. Arrange the potatoes side by side in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.

Bake the potatoes in an air fryer at 200°C for 30 minutes. Turn the potatoes over after 30 minutes and bake for another 5 to 20 minutes at 200°C, depending on their size. The potatoes are done when you can insert a sharp knife into the potato and pull it out without noticeable resistance.

Cut the baked potatoes lengthwise and serve with toppings of your choice.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Potato Selection Perfection 🥔
Choose high-starch potatoes like Russet or Idaho for the fluffiest interior and crispiest skin when air frying.
Piercing Precision 🔪
Always pierce the potato 4-5 times with a fork before cooking to allow steam to escape and prevent potential potato explosions.
Oil Coating Technique 🧴
Lightly coat the potato skin with canola oil and kosher salt to ensure maximum crispiness and flavor penetration.
Fluffiness Hack 💨
After cooking, gently squeeze the potato and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the interior to become extra fluffy and light.
Topping Temperature Trick 🧈
Let toppings like butter and sour cream come to room temperature before adding to ensure they melt and blend smoothly into the hot potato.
