Equipment
- Ninja Max Air Fryer My favorite air fryer that I've used so far!
- Vegetable Brush Because no one wants to eat dirt with their potatoes.
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes. Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes. Use a fork to pierce each potato a few times. Then rub with the outside of the potatoes with oil.
- Air fry the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the basket of an air fryer. Set the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Use tongs to remove the potatoes to a plate. Once they're cool to the touch, slice each potato in half and season with salt and pepper, or your favorite baked potato toppings!
Notes
- You can swap sweet potatoes in this recipe and as long as they're about the same size as Russet potatoes, the cook time should be the same. But sweet potatoes are often bigger, and if that's the case, you may need to cook 5 to 10 minutes longer.
