Equipment
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, and add a thin coat of oil all over them. You can either brush the oil on, or spray on an olive oil spray.
- Pierce the skin of the potatoes all over with a fork. This prevents the potatoes from bursting under pressure.
- Add the potatoes to an air fryer, and air fry on 400 °F / 200 °C for about 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of the potato. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to prevent the potato skin from burning.
- If you want to add any seasoning, such as salt or a spice rub, I suggest you add this for the last 15 minutes of cooking. This way you can be certain that the spices won’t burn while cooking.
- To make sure that the potatoes are done, pierce them with a fork. The fork should easily be inserted into the potato with little resistance when it's fully baked. Remove the potatoes from the air fryer, and serve.

Notes
- Seasoning is optional, but I like to add a sprinkle of sea salt to the potatoes before they finish cooking.
- Make sure to wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You don’t want to bite into a chunk of dirt!
- The cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of potato you use. Always make sure that they are done by piercing the middle of a potato with a fork. The potato is ready to eat if the fork can easily be inserted without little resistance.
- Leftover baked potatoes can be stored in a sealed container in a refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat them for a few minutes in a microwave or air fryer before serving.
