Discover the perfect crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside baked potatoes made effortlessly in your air fryer. This recipe uses minimal ingredients and the magic of air frying to create deliciously tender potatoes with a hint of truffle salt for an elevated flavor.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 4 medium potatoes

Seasoning and Toppings

  • Avocado oil spray
  • Butter, to serve
  • Truffle salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel to ensure the skin crisps up nicely during cooking.
  2. Season the potatoes: Lightly spray each potato all over with avocado oil spray, ensuring an even coating. This will help the skin become crispy and golden in the air fryer.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes. Preheating ensures consistent cooking throughout the potatoes.
  4. Air fry the potatoes: Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching to allow even air circulation. Cook for 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway through to brown all sides evenly. The potatoes are done when a fork easily pierces through to the center.
  5. Add finishing touches: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and make a slit on top. Add butter and sprinkle truffle salt to taste for a luxurious flavor boost. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose medium-sized potatoes for even cooking and guaranteed fluffiness inside.
  • Using avocado oil spray promotes crispier skin than brushing with oil.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your potatoes; larger potatoes may require additional minutes.
  • Truffle salt is optional but adds an elegant, earthy note—regular salt works fine as a substitute.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with vegan margarine or olive oil.
