how long to bake potatoes in air fryer
Baking potatoes in an air fryer is a fantastic way to cook them quickly and evenly. Here’s a general guide for baking potatoes in an air fryer:
Cooking Time:
- Small to medium-sized potatoes (1-2 inches in diameter): 30-40 minutes at 400°F (200°C)
- Medium-sized potatoes (2-3 inches in diameter): 40-50 minutes at 400°F (200°C)
- Large potatoes (3-4 inches in diameter): 50-60 minutes at 400°F (200°C)
- Extra-large potatoes (4-5 inches in diameter): 60-70 minutes at 400°F (200°C)
Tips:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) before adding the potatoes.
- Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Poke some holes in the potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Rub the potatoes with a little bit of oil and sprinkle with salt, if desired.
- Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You can cook multiple potatoes at once, but make sure they’re not overlapping.
- Check on the potatoes halfway through the cooking time and shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
- Use a fork to check for doneness. If the potatoes are tender and easily pierced, they’re done.
Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the specific air fryer model and the potatoes’ size and type. Keep an eye on the potatoes and adjust the cooking time as needed.
