Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
  3. Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with sea salt.
  4. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Air fry for 40-50 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes and your air fryer model.
  6. Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For loaded baked potatoes, prepare your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, or chili.
  • Ensure the potatoes are completely dry before oiling and salting for the crispiest skin.
  • If you don’t have sea salt, regular table salt can be used, but sea salt provides a better texture for the crispy skin.
