I love having an air fryer. I bought it for my husband, mainly because he loves making chicken wings, but I love it, too, and for so much more than chicken wings.
This air fryer baked potato recipe is super easy and the potatoes come out with a crispy skin and a soft and fluffy inside. You can customize the high-fiber and high-protein potatoes by adding your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, grated cheese, queso, chili, bacon bits, chives, chopped green onions or cooked broccoli.
All you need to make this air fryer recipe is russet potatoes and extra virgin olive oil – and an air fryer, of course! The potatoes are rubbed with olive oil, salt and black pepper, then cooked in the air fryer for about 45 minutes. While the potatoes cook, finish the rest of your dinner!
Serve these air fryer potatoes as a side dish with dinner. Delish. Be sure to read about the health benefits of protein and the health benefits of fiber.
Hint: For even more protein and fiber, ladle the baked potatoes with baked beans. My boys love it!

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
- 3 russet potatoes, washed and dried well
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
Here’s how to make it:
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Rub potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Do not wrap potatoes in foil! (For extra flavor, sprinkle the potatoes with some garlic powder, garlic salt or onion powder. For some heat, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.)
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 40 minutes (the time may need to be adjusted based on your air fryer and size of potatoes; keep an eye on them). Check whether or not potatoes are done by inserting a knife into the center of the potatoes, if it goes in and comes out easily, they are done. If the knife gets “stuck,” fry for another 5 to 10 more minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings. Store leftover cooked potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat. Heat in the microwave.
