Air Fryer Baked Potato: 7 Easy Upgrades

The base is simple: crispy skin outside, fluffy potato inside. Once your potatoes are cooked, you can keep them classic with butter and salt or turn them into one of the 7 easy upgrades below.

• Base – Potato + oil + salt

• Bacon Ranch – Crispy bacon and cool ranch dressing

• Broccoli Cheddar – Tender broccoli and melted cheddar

• Buffalo Chicken – Buffalo chicken with a drizzle of ranch

• Pizza – Pizza sauce, melted cheese, and pepperoni

• Taco Beef – Seasoned taco beef with melted cheese

• Ham & Cheese – Sliced ham and melty cheese

• Garlic Parmesan – Garlic butter, Parmesan, and parsley

1. Scrub and dry 4 medium russet potatoes.

2. Rub each potato with a little oil and sprinkle with salt.

3. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork.

4. Air fry at 400°F for 35–45 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the skin is crisp and a knife slides in easily.

5. Cut open, fluff the inside with a fork, and add butter, salt, or your favorite toppings.

• Smaller potatoes cook faster.

• Large potatoes may need 45–50 minutes.

• For extra crispy skin, do not overcrowd the basket.
