Air fryer baked potatoes turn out beautifully, creamy and fluffy white on the inside, with crisp golden skin, in less time than it takes to bake them in the oven.
Scrub potatoes clean and pat dry. Pierce the skin of each potato a few times with a sharp knife or fork. Coat outside of potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper.
Cook in air fryer at 400°F for 25 minutes, flip over, and continue to cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Serve immediately with desired toppings.

Notes
Storage Tips: Never store uncooked potatoes in the fridge, where the starch will turn to sugar. Store potatoes in a paper sack (not plastic), mesh bag, or box in a cool dark place. Baked potatoes, wrapped well, can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. Baked potatoes don't freeze well.
Reheating Suggestions: For best results, let them come to room temperature first, then place them right on the rack of a preheated oven (350°F) for ten to fifteen minutes or until heated through. They can also be reheated in the air fryer.
If your potato is much larger than 10 oz, you'll need to add cooking time. Plan to add 2-3 minutes for every ounce that your potato is over 10 oz.
