1-Making air fryer baked potatoes: is straightforward and fun, especially if you’re new to this method. Start by washing and drying 2 medium russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, setting the stage for great seasoning.

2-Next, poke several holes in each potato with a fork; this lets steam escape and stops them from bursting during cooking.

3-Then, rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them generously with sea salt to get that crispy skin everyone loves. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket without wrapping them in foil, as that can make the skin soft instead of crisp; use parchment paper if you want easier cleanup.

4-Cook them for 40 to 60 minutes until they’re fork-tender, flipping halfway through for the best results. Once done, carefully remove the potatoes, slice them open, and fluff the insides with a fork. Top with your favorites like butter, sour cream, cheese, or herbs for a personalized touch the total time is around 50 minutes, making it ideal for busy parents or working professionals.
