The Fastest Air Fryer Baked Potato

    • Butter
    • Sour cream
    • Shredded cheddar
    • Chopped chives or green onions
    • Bacon crumbles
    • Sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions

‍ How to Make It

    1. Preheat Your Air Fryer
      Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Allow it to preheat for 3–5 minutes to ensure even crisping.
    2. Prepare the Potatoes
        • Wash and scrub the potatoes clean, then pat them dry.
        • Poke a few holes in each potato with a fork to let steam escape during cooking.
      • Rub each one with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
    3. Cook in the Air Fryer
        • Place potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space for air to circulate.
      • Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
      • To check doneness, pierce with a knife or fork—it should slide in effortlessly.
    1. Finish & Serve
      • Let potatoes cool for a few minutes, then slice open and fluff the insides with a fork.
      • Add your favorite toppings and enjoy warm.
