The easiest, crispiest baked potatoes you’ll ever make.
Yield: 4 potatoes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40–50 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika
Toppings: butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar, chives, bacon bits
Instructions
Wash the potatoes well and pat them completely dry. Use a fork to poke each potato 6–8 times. Rub them with olive oil, making sure they’re coated evenly, then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the potatoes in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 40–50 minutes, flipping halfway through. They’re done when the skins are crisp and a fork slides in easily.
Remove, slice open, fluff the insides with a fork, and load with butter, sour cream, cheese, and your favorite toppings.
Tips for Perfect Potatoes
- Russet potatoes work best for that classic fluffy center.
- For extra-crispy skin, sprinkle a little more salt after oiling.
- Add garlic powder or paprika before air frying for extra flavor.
Enjoy !!!
