Ingredients

Main ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes Medium-sized russet potatoes work best for fluffy texture.
2 tablespoons olive oil Olive oil helps achieve crispy skin.
to taste Salt Adjust according to preference.
to taste Pepper Freshly ground pepper adds flavor.

Optional toppings

to taste sour cream Great for a creamy topping.
to taste chives Add a fresh, onion-like flavor.
to taste cheese Your choice of cheese.
to taste bacon bits Optional for added crunch and flavor.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes, then poke holes in them with a fork.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Cooking

Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and crispy.

Serving

Remove from the air fryer, let them cool for a few minutes, then cut them open and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

To store leftover baked potatoes, let them cool completely. Wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and place them in the refrigerator. They will keep for about 3-5 days. Make sure to poke holes in the potatoes to allow steam to escape while cooking. Experiment with different seasonings or try adding garlic powder for extra flavor. If you want crispy skin, do not skip the olive oil.
