Step 1

Pick similarly sized potatoes so they cook evenly. Most air fryers should be able to fit between 2 and 4 at a time in a single layer.

Step 2

Next, wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Once they are clean, dry them well with a towel.

Step 3

Coat the cleaned and dry potatoes with oil and salt.

Step 4

Then, place them in the air fryer basket and cook them at 400 F / 204 C for 45 to 50 minutes or until tender on the inside.

Step 5

Next, carefully remove the air fryer potatoes and then gently cut a slit into them.

Step 6

Gently separate the potato at the slit being careful not to break it all the way through. Next, add butter, sour cream, chives, red pepper flakes, and salt. Or you can add your favorite toppings, gravies, or sauces.
