There are so many ways to make potatoes and a nice baked potato is one of my favorites. Now, there are several ways to bake potatoes. In the oven or microwave, some people use their instant pot to make baked potatoes, although I've never tried the instant pot.
Well, I've found another method to make baked potatoes, and it is now my go-to favorite. Try baked potatoes in your air fryer.
These air fryer baked potatoes are soft and tender on the inside with a wonderful crispy skin on the outside. The crispy outside is what sold me on using the air fryer. Baking them in the oven or microwave just doesn't turn the skin crispy.
Benefits of using the Air Fryer:
- Air fryers use less energy than your oven does.
- Your oven can heat up the whole house. If you live in a warmer climate then using the air fryer is a plus.
- The oven will not give you that crispy skin.
How to make Air Fryer Baked Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes and pat them dry.
- Brush them with olive oil and add salt all around.
- Poke holes around the potatoes with a fork
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Air Fry for 40 to 50 minutes until the inside is tender.
- Turn the potatoes over halfway through.
Cut them open and add your favorite toppings such as butter, sour cream, chives, or whatever you like on your baked potato. The air fryer that we have is the Ninja Foodi Grill and Air Fryer. We use it often to grill and air fry, it's perfect for the two of us.
