how long to bake potato in air fryer

The time it takes to bake a potato in an air fryer can vary depending on the size of the potato, the temperature, and the desired level of doneness. Here are some general guidelines:

Small to medium-sized potatoes (1-2 inches in diameter):

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Scrub the potato clean and poke some holes in it with a fork to allow steam to escape.
• Cook the potato for 30-40 minutes, or until it’s tender when pierced with a fork.

Medium to large-sized potatoes (2-3 inches in diameter):

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Scrub the potato clean and poke some holes in it with a fork to allow steam to escape.
• Cook the potato for 40-50 minutes, or until it’s tender when pierced with a fork.

Extra-large potatoes (3-4 inches in diameter):

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Scrub the potato clean and poke some holes in it with a fork to allow steam to escape.
• Cook the potato for 50-60 minutes, or until it’s tender when pierced with a fork.

Tips:

• You can wrap the potato in foil if you prefer a more traditional baked potato texture.
• If you want a crisper skin, you can cook the potato at a higher temperature (425°F/220°C) for a shorter amount of time (20-30 minutes).
• Check on the potato halfway through cooking and shake the basket to ensure even cooking.

Remember, the key to cooking a great potato in the air fryer is to cook it at a consistent temperature and to not overcrowd the basket. Happy cooking!
