Air Fryer Baked Potato
Large russet potatoes with crisp salted skin and a light, floury middle, cooked entirely in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- olive oil or spray oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Rub each potato with olive oil or spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
- Preheat the air fryer to 385°F for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Place the potatoes in the basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook at 385°F for 60 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Halfway through the cooking time, turn the potatoes over so they colour evenly.
- Once tender and easily pierced with a fork, remove them from the air fryer.
- Let the potatoes rest for a few minutes before slicing them open.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate. Do not wrap the potatoes in foil, as it traps steam and softens the skin. Cooking time depends heavily on size, so test with a fork rather than the clock.
