Air Fryer Baked Potatoes: Crispy Outside, Fluffy Inside

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Season the Potatoes:
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring an even coat on the skins. Season generously with salt and pepper, or your preferred seasonings.
Air Fry the Potatoes:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place the prepared potatoes into the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
Cook the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The potatoes are done when the skin is crispy, and a fork easily pierces the center.
Check for Doneness:
To ensure they are fully cooked, you can test the potatoes by inserting a fork or skewer into the thickest part. If it slides in easily, they’re ready!
Serve and Enjoy:
Cut a slit down the center of each potato and fluff the insides with a fork. Add your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, or bacon bits.
