Crispy Air Fryer Baked Potato Recipe
Nothing beats a perfectly cooked baked potato, and the air fryer makes it incredibly easy. This recipe gives you a fluffy inside and a wonderfully crispy skin, every single time.
Key Ingredients & Potato Tips
- Russet Potatoes: These are the best choice for baked potatoes because they get very fluffy inside when cooked.
- Oil & Salt for Crispiness: A little oil helps the skin get super crispy, and salt adds great flavor right from the start.
What You Need for this Air Fryer Potato
- 1 large Russet potato
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Optional toppings: butter, sour cream, chives
⏱️ Time: 30-40 minutes🍽️ Yields: 1 serving
How to Make Your Crispy Baked Potato
Step 1: Prep the Potato
Wash your potato well and pat it completely dry. Use a fork to poke holes all over the potato. This helps steam escape and prevents it from bursting.
Step 2: Cook in Air Fryer
Rub the potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place it directly in your air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skin is crispy and the inside is soft when squeezed.
📝 Final Note
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for the best experience. Hot and fresh is key!

Step 2: Air Fry for Crispy Finish

Crispy Sliced Potatoes In The Air Fryer (Air Fryer Chips)
If you’re looking for an alternative to deep-fried chips, these crispy sliced potatoes are perfect. The air fryer turns thin slices into crunchy bites that are hard to stop eating.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Air Fryer Potato Slices
- Thin Slices are Key: Using a mandoline slicer helps you get very thin, even slices, which is essential for maximum crispiness.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Cook the potato slices in batches if needed. Overcrowding the air fryer basket will steam them instead of making them crispy.
What You Need for these Sliced Air Fryer Potatoes
- 1 large Russet potato, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
⏱️ Time: 15-20 minutes per batch🍽️ Yields: 2 servings
How to Make Crispy Sliced Potatoes
Step 1: Prepare Potato Slices
Slice your potato very thinly. In a bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are lightly coated.
Step 2: Air Fry Until Golden
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and very crispy.
📝 Final Note
Enjoy these crispy slices as a snack or a fun side dish. You can sprinkle them with different seasonings for variety!
