    Potatoes rubbed with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper make the perfect air fryer baked potatoes.

    💭 Tips

    • Be sure to use an oil that has a high smoke point. Avocado oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil, and canola oil are all oils that would work.
    • Try to be consistent with the size of potato to ensure even cooking. Different sized potatoes will require different cooking times.
    • Russets is the best type of potato to bake. The have a thicker skin and the flesh of the potato is starchier and fluffier.
