Time 55m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each), scrubbed
2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Shredded Cheddar, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Sliced scallions, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the potatoes with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until evenly coated.
  • Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F, then place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Cook until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, flipping halfway through, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Cut each potato in half lengthwise and season with a pinch of salt. Top with Cheddar, sour cream and scallions.

Tips:

  • Scrub potatoes well to remove dirt and debris, but do not peel them. The skin will help the potatoes stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Use a fork to pierce the potatoes in several places. This will allow steam to escape during cooking and help the potatoes cook evenly.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings before cooking. This will help them brown and develop a crispy exterior.
  • Air fry the potatoes in a single layer. This will ensure that they cook evenly and do not steam.
  • Shake the basket or turn the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of potatoes you are using.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or topping.

Conclusion:

Air fryer baked potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they can be seasoned to your liking. Air fryer baked potatoes are also a healthier alternative to traditional baked potatoes, as they are cooked with less oil. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy delicious air fryer baked potatoes in no time.
