Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for making baked potatoes in an air fryer:
Ingredients:
- Russet potatoes (or any other baking potatoes)
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Toppings of your choice (such as sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon bits)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork in several places. This helps steam escape during cooking.
- Coat with Olive Oil and Salt:
- Lightly coat each potato with olive oil. You can do this by brushing the oil on or by tossing the potatoes in a bowl with oil.
- Sprinkle each potato with salt, ensuring an even coating.
- Air Fry the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If you have smaller potatoes, you can cook multiple at once.
- Cook for about 35-45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
- Check for Doneness:
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork or knife to check if they are tender on the inside. The fork should easily go through the potato.
- Serve and Add Toppings:
- Once the potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes before handling.
- Slice each potato open, fluff the insides with a fork, and add your favorite toppings. Common choices include sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon bits, or any other toppings you like.
- Enjoy! Serve the air fryer baked potatoes immediately while they’re hot. They make a delicious and easy side dish.
Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the size and type of your air fryer, so it’s a good idea to check the potatoes periodically to ensure they don’t overcook.
