Air Fryer Baked Potato

Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet potatoes (scrubbed and dried, pricked with a fork)
  • to taste extra-virgin olive oil (for rubbing on potatoes)
  • to taste sea salt (for seasoning potatoes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the potatoes. Place on a plate. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with sea salt all over.
  3. Transfer to the air fryer basket and air fry for 40 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the skin is crisp.
  4. Slice open each potato, fluff the insides, and serve with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Piercing the potatoes allows steam to escape, preventing them from bursting in the air fryer.
  • Do not wrap potatoes in foil; it makes the skin soggy.
