Easy to make air fryer baked potatoes! Using an air fryer will help you get wonderfully crispy skin on your baked potatoes and it’s quicker than using an oven. I’m quickly beginning to think that the air fryer is truly my favorite kitchen appliance ever! These potatoes are so good! The crispy skin and tender fluffy insides are perfect every time.

How to Make Air Fryer Baked Potatoes:
Wash and pat dry potatoes. Poke each potato a couple of times with a fork.
Do You Have To Poke Your Potatoes Before Baking?
I’ve baked potatoes in my air fryer without poking any holes in them first and they did just fine. However, I feel better poking holes in them first because they “could” explode and leave a hot mess in my air fryer. So I poke holes before baking them. Now back to the instructions.
Liberally spritz the potatoes with avocado oil and sprinkle with salt.
Cook in an air fryer at 400° for 45 minutes. Turn after 30 minutes. If potatoes are large you may need to cook a few extra minutes.
Test with a fork for tenderness. If needed they can be cooked a few additional minutes.
Top your potatoes with your favorite toppings. I use dairy-free Smart Balance and chives. You can find fresh chives in the produce area at your grocery store. The added chives take this baked potato to another level! So Good!
