Super simple way to make baked potatoes — in the air fryer. They come out perfectly baked every single time with almost no effort. I make a whole batch and use them throughout the week for easy lunches and dinners. Once you try this method, you won’t go back to the oven. (I use this same technique for sweet potatoes too.) These air fryer baked potatoes are even easier now that you can make multiple in one run of the air fryer- I usually throw 5-6 of them in there at a time!
