Instructions

• Scrub the potatoes under running water to remove dirt, then dry them thoroughly. Pierce each potato several times with a fork or a knife to vent.
• Rub the potato skins with olive oil and season them generously with salt.
• Arrange the two potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between them for air circulation.
• Check your air fryer manual for preheat requirements. If your model requires preheating, preheat to 400°F; if not, proceed without preheating.
• Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the potatoes for 45 minutes. Turn the potatoes over once about halfway through the cooking time.
• Check for doneness: the skin should be crisp and a fork should pierce the center easily. For a fluffy interior, the internal temperature will be roughly 207°F if you use a thermometer. If not yet tender, continue cooking and check again until done.
• Remove the potatoes from the air fryer, cut them in half, and fluff the insides with a fork. Serve as desired.
• Store any leftover baked potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, place potatoes (halved for faster heating) in the air fryer at 400°F for 5–10 minutes until heated through.
