Tips for making baked potatoes in the air fryer
Test for doneness – Your potato is cooked through if a knife inserted into the center is easily pierced. You can easily continue cooking them in the air fryer if they need more time.
Scrub potatoes – The potato peels are edible and super tasty when you salt them. Just be sure to clean the potato under running water before cooking it.
Poke potatoes with a fork – air fryer potatoes don’t have to be poked with a fork, but there is a small chance your potatoes will burst and make a mess in your air fryer which is why we take 10 seconds to poke the potatoes.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. You want the air to circulate evenly around the potatoes.
Reheat the potato by cooking it in the air fryer at 400 until heated or use a microwave.
Baked Potato Toppings
We love a fully loaded baked potato as a side dish, or even for lunch. It’s especially fun to make a baked potato bar. The toppings are endless and these are some of our favorites:
Salt – sprinkling on a little extra is always a good idea
Butter – dot cut potato with butter and let it melt over
Sour Cream – add a generous dollop
Shredded cheese – Mexican or cheddar
Everything bagel seasoning
Jalapeno – sliced or diced
Chives or green onion to garnish
