Craving a perfectly fluffy baked potato with irresistibly crispy skin? Ditch the oven and grab your air fryer! The answer to 'can you cook a baked potato in an air fryer?' is a resounding YES, and it's a game-changer.
Air frying a baked potato is faster and uses less energy than traditional baking. Simply wash and scrub your potatoes, then prick them several times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper (or your favorite spices!).
Place the potatoes directly in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time varies based on potato size, so check for doneness!
Once cooked, slice them open and load them up with your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, or bacon. Enjoy a delicious and easy baked potato, ready in a fraction of the time. Happy air frying!
