how long to air fry baked potatoes
The time it takes to air fry baked potatoes can vary depending on the size of the potatoes, the temperature of the air fryer, 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 potatoes clean and poke some holes in them with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Cook the potatoes for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Medium-sized potatoes (2-3 inches in diameter):
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes clean and poke some holes in them with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Cook the potatoes for 40-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Large potatoes (3-4 inches in diameter):
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes clean and poke some holes in them with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Cook the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Tips:
- You can wrap the potatoes in foil if you prefer a more traditional baked potato texture.
- If you want a crisper skin, you can cook the potatoes at a higher temperature (425°F/220°C) for a shorter amount of time (30-40 minutes).
- Check on the potatoes halfway through cooking and shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
Keep in mind that these times are just a guideline, and the actual cooking time may vary depending on your specific air fryer and potatoes. It’s always a good idea to check on the potatoes periodically to avoid overcooking.
