Step 1

Set the air fryer to 400 degrees and preheat for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, poke holes all over the potatoes with a fork. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil and a pinch of salt to evenly coat.

Step 3

Add the potatoes to the basket of the air fryer spaced evenly apart and cook for 40 to 45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, or until the potatoes offer no resistance when a sharp paring knife is inserted into their centers.

Step 4

Use tongs to transfer the potatoes to individual plates or a platter. While the potatoes are still hot, carefully make an incision lengthwise in each, then push the ends in to crack it open. Using a fork, fluff the steamy interior. Top the potato however you like it and serve hot.
