Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Baked Potato
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the medium potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  3. Rub each potato with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Cook for 35-40 minutes, giving the basket a gentle shake halfway through.
