This Air Fryer Baked Potato Recipe makes baked potatoes with a crispy, flavorful outside and fluffy, tender inside that are quick, easy, and delicious. Learn how to cook a baked potato in the air fryer that is perfect every time!
Prick each of the potatoes with a fork or sharp knife. Brush or rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Then, arrange the potatoes in the air fryer basket, leaving ample room around the potatoes for the air to circulate as the potatoes cook.
Set the heat to 400º F and the timer for 30 minutes. At 30 minutes, pull open the air fryer and gently press on the sides of the potato or prick the center with a sharp paring knife. If it easily yields, the potato is done. If not, return it to the basket and set the timer for up to 10 more minutes.
Split open the baked potatoes with a knife and add your preferred toppings.
