🌟 Tips for the Perfect Air Fryer Potato
-
Crispier skin: Rub with a little extra oil and a pinch of coarse salt
-
Smaller potatoes cook faster (reduce time by 5–10 min)
-
Check early if your air fryer runs hot
-
For extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder or paprika on the skin
If you want, I can also give a stuffed version — like loaded baked potato with cheese and bacon, optimized for the air fryer so it stays fluffy inside and crispy outside.
