Air Fryer Baked Potato Crispy Skin & Fluffy Inside
Time:
- Prep: 5 minutes
- Cook: 15–20 minutes
- Total: about 20–25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2–4 medium potatoes
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (optional)
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes:
Scrub the potatoes well and pat them dry. Use a fork to poke a few holes in each potato (this prevents them from bursting in the microwave). - Microwave first:
Place the potatoes in the microwave and cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly tender. - Season:
Remove them, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with sea salt (and black pepper if you like). - Air fry:
Place the potatoes in the air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy. - Serve:
Slice open and add your favorite toppings: butter , cheese , sour cream, or even chicken or tuna.
Tips:
- For larger potatoes, add a few extra minutes.
- Dry skin = crispier results, so don’t skip drying them well.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer for best crispiness.
Enjoy your perfectly crispy, fluffy baked potatoes!
