Air Fryer Baked Potatoes take half the time oven baked potatoes take and taste amazing. Here is how I make them

If you are like me and LOVE baked potatoes, then let me show you how I make them in my Ninja Air Fryer. I have made slow cooker baked potatoes and they turned out great, but the air fryer has been my favorite way to make them before.

I have been using my air fryer non-stop and have made so many delicious recipes with it. Now, these baked potatoes can be added to the list. Here's how I make them.

How to Make Air Fryer Baked Potatoes

First, start by rubbing the potatoes down with olive oil. I sprinkle them with salt and pepper all over. This will make the crust of the potato skin seasoned and so delicious.

The bottom pan of the air fryer will catch any drippings. The oil helps the skin crisp up and makes all of the seasoning stick to the potato skin as well.

This potato skin tastes so delicious. It makes for a perfectly seasoned potato.

Once they have the oil on them they’re ready for the air fryer. You can just put them right in and fry in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

The cooking time depends on small or big the potatoes are. The bigger they are the more time they will take to cook.

How to Serve These Delicious Baked Potatoes

Once they come out of the air fryer you can slit the potato and pinch and push both sides to open the potato.

I like loaded baked potatoes so I add sour cream, butter, cheese, bacon, chives, and if you want, you can throw in some cooked ground beef or shredded cooked chicken. Then I season with a little more salt and pepper on the top for the perfect baked potato.

You know I remember reading that you should never bake potatoes in aluminum foil since that makes them steamed--which is just plain wrong. Well I think you've taken this way into the good direction with this! Yum!
