Description
Perfect air fryer baked potatoes with crispy salted skins and fluffy centers. This easy side dish is ready in 45 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes about 8 ounces each
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water and dry completely with a clean towel.
- Use a fork to poke 4 to 5 holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Rub each potato evenly with 1 teaspoon olive oil, coating all sides. Sprinkle evenly with kosher salt.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each one for proper air circulation. Do not overcrowd.
- Air fry at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the skins are crisp and a fork slides easily into the center. The internal temperature should reach at least 205 degrees Fahrenheit for a fluffy interior.
- Carefully remove the potatoes using tongs. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice open lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork. Serve with desired toppings.
Notes
- Choose similarly sized potatoes so they cook evenly and finish at the same time.
