Air fryer Baked Potatoes are so easy to make, the I wished found out when I got an air fryer a while back. All you need is a potato, olive oil, seasoning, & foil to make. The only downside, it takes almost an hour to make in the air fryer

    About the same time with a regular oven. Then put on a bunch of great toppings like sour cream, butter, green onion, salsa. Used to make them a lot. Dont do it anymore because im lazy.

      True, Air fryers are simply countertop convection ovens, but the form factor makes “ovening” stuff way easier and appealing. The fact that I don’t have to bend over, mess around with big hot trays or racks, heat up and clean a big-ass oven for two potatoes, or any 1-2 serving size dishes makes baking a couple of potatoes appealing again.

      The air “fryer” moniker is a marketing stroke of genius.

      BTW, baked potatoes are trivial easy to make in a microwave, and can be given a toasty finish if you have a microwave/grill combo.

        Also, air fryers use less power to do something like a baked potato assuming you’re just doing 1 or 2.
