Crispy Air Fryer Baked Potato

The classic baked potato gets a speedy, crispy upgrade in the air fryer! This method delivers perfectly fluffy insides and irresistibly crackly skins in less time than the oven. A simple rub of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder amps up the flavor, while the air fryer’s circulating heat ensures even cooking and golden results. Top with fresh chives for a pop of color and freshness. Whether it’s a cozy side or a customizable base for your favorite toppings, this air fryer baked potato is a weeknight game changer.

Instructions

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and pat dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for air circulation.
Cook for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skins are crisp and a fork easily pierces the center.
Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly, then slice open and fluff the insides with a fork.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve hot, with your favorite toppings if desired.
