Nothing beats a perfectly baked potato: crispy skin, fluffy interior, and a flavor-packed punch. Thanks to the air fryer, you can achieve this classic comfort food faster and healthier than traditional oven baking. When paired with aromatic herbs and spices, your baked potato transforms into a gourmet side dish or even a satisfying main.

Retains the potato’s natural moisture, creating a fluffy interior.
