I really didn’t understand what people meant by a baked potato being “fluffy”. Holy cow, NOW I know!! This is an amazing, super simple, and delicious recipe! I don’t have peanut oil so I used my evoo. 48 minutes was the perfect time for my potatoes. Side note: Allrecipes is the absolute BEST!!

I BAKED 4 POTATOES IN MICROWAVE FOR 14 MINS, WRAPPED IN FOIL, THEN AIR FRYED FOR 8 MINUTES, AND THE POTATOES ARE THE FLUFFIEST I HAVE TASTED, IF I WAS GOING TO TAKE THAT LONG TO COOK I WOULD JUST PUT THEM IN CONVENTIONAL OVEN

This is the only way we bake potatoes now. This recipe was perfect. I like not having to pierce with a fork.

I air fried for 30 minutes at 390F. I coated with olive oil and pierced with fork several times. I did not season the skins because I used bacon, cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños to flavor the potatoes. Wonderful taste, texture and flavor. Will make this again!

Waaaaaay too long. Maybe my 400 degree Cosori is hotter than someone else’s 400 degree air fryer….but one hour is ludicrous. Or my potatoes are smaller? Scrub, oil, salt fry…poke at 20 minutes….if not smooth inside, do another 5….5 minutes at a time. I did one hour and ended up with crispy, dried rocks.

The taste was great, It reminded my of a restaurant potato. The skin was crunchy, and the inside was cooked well. I think next time I will lower the temp, keep the same time to cook. My husband and I ate the skin too, it was so good.I will absolutely make this again.
Michele Jones
These are delicious. The only changes I made was to cook them 30 minutes and use olive oil. I can’t get enough of these!
Curtis Dawson
Don’t know what I did wrong, but they were like super crispy outside and still hard inside and I cooked them for an hour.
Thomas Smith
The baked potato was so simple. Washed and patted dry the potato and rubbed olive oil over potato and sprinkled salt. Baked at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Added some favorites such as butter, pico de gallo, sour cream and a sprinkle of sliced green onions. A perfect meal!

First time I’ve tried this. I was very impressed. Crispy skin nice and fluffy, just like you said! I love that I’m not having to use my oven for 2 potatoes. Used my Instant Pot for ribs as well. Great energy saving all around.

I didn’t have time to cook them an hour. I placed my potatoes in the microwave for a few minutes and then put them in the air fryer for 15 minutes. Perfectly crispy and flakey inside!
Angelica Jackson
Excellent crispy skin -perfect inside
Danielle Brown
Turned out great. I used Pam spray oil instead of peanut oil. It was less of a mess and the potato skin turned out really crispy.

This was my first use of the Air Fryer and it came out perfect! Nice and crispy outside and fluffy inside! Will uses again and again.
