Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Baked Potato
  1. Begin by thoroughly washing and drying the russet potatoes. Pat each potato dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over each potato, rubbing it into the skin for an even coating. Sprinkle sea salt generously around.
  4. Place potatoes in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Set to 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, and shake the basket halfway through.
  5. After cooking, pierce a potato to check for doneness. If not tender, return for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove potatoes and serve hot, topped with your favorite condiments.
