Air Fryer Baked Potato

Ingredients

• 2–4 medium potatoes (russet-style work best)
• 1–2 tbsp oil
• Salt (coarse if you have it)
• Optional: pepper, garlic powder

Method

1. Wash & dry
   Scrub the potatoes clean and dry them thoroughly (dry skin = crispier).
2. Prep the skin
   Rub each potato with oil, then sprinkle generously with salt.
3. Pierce
   Use a fork to poke a few holes in each potato.
4. Air fry
   Place in the air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd).
   Cook at 200°C (400°F) for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway.
5. Check doneness
   A knife should slide in easily when they’re done.

Serving ideas

• Butter + salt (classic and unbeatable)
• Sour cream and chives
• Cheese and a sprinkle of chili flakes
• Stuffed with leftover chicken or veggies

Tips for best results

• Choose similar-sized potatoes so they cook evenly
• For extra crispy skin, cook 5 minutes longer at the end
• If they’re large, add 5–10 extra minutes
