If you’ve never “baked” a potato in your air fryer, there’s no time like the present. In fact, stop what you’re doing, pre-heat your air fryer, and bake one right now! All joking aside, trying out an air-fried baked potato will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made in the kitchen.
Air Fryer Baked Potato — It’s Fast!
One of the drawbacks of baking potatoes in a traditional conventional oven is that, even at high temperatures, it takes at least an hour for a generously sized spud. Thanks to the air fryer’s rapid air technology, you will find that cooking potatoes in the air fryer will cook more evenly and save time.
Air Fryer Baked Potato — It’s Thorough
In addition to being faster, cooking a baked potato in the air fryer also produced a more even, thorough cook, not to mention a great texture. If you are a fan of potato skins (I’m not, but my husband is), then your air fryer will “bake” the potato skin to the perfect crisp texture. However, the inside won’t be overcooked. Instead, the potato will be soft and fluffy, just waiting for a pallet of butter, a sprinkle of cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream.
