Air Fryer Baked Potato

Gorgeously crispy skin, and a fork-tender fluffy inside that is just begging to be slathered in butter and devoured. These air fryer baked potatoes are so good, you won't believe how quick and easy they are to make.

Ingredients

1 large potato Idaho, Russet, King Edward or Maris Piper
½ teaspoon olive oil
1 pinch salt
Your toppings of choice

Instructions

Scrub the potato and prick with a fork to pierce the skin all over [Note 1].
Drizzle the potato with oil and sprinkle with salt, and rub the salt and oil to cover the potato.
Place potato in air fryer basket. If you are cooking more than one, ensure they are not touching.
Bake potato in the air fryer at 180°C/ 360°F for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fork-tender in the center [Note 2].
Enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Notes

If you are short on time you can blast the potato in the microwave for five minutes first until tender [Note 2], then halve the air frying time.
Cook times may need to be adjusted for extra large potatoes. If needed, cook for additional 5 minute intervals until done.
