These baked potatoes come out perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Just rub with olive oil and salt, then let the air fryer do the work. Slice them open, add your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, or chives, and enjoy a simple, satisfying side or light meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet potatoes

  • Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed

  • Pinch of kosher sea salt

  • Optional garnishes: butter, sour cream, chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

  2. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the potatoes. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with sea salt.

  3. Place potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 40 to 60 minutes, or until fork-tender and the skin is crisp.

  4. Slice open each potato and fluff the insides. Add desired garnishes and serve.
