0 0 Published Nov 04, 2024 And once I learned how to make a baked potato in the air fryer I never looked back. An air fryer baked potato cooks up in 15-20 minutes less than it takes to cook in the oven. Plus, there’s no more waiting for the oven to heat up or wondering if it’s done, the air fryer gives you a perfectly cooked baked potato with crispy skin and a soft, fluffy center every single time. It’s the perfect no-fuss side dish that can be served plain, with just butter and salt, or with as many of your favorite toppings as your heart desires. There’s no wrong way to serve these air fryer baked potatoes! If you’re new to the air fryer be sure to check out all of my air fryer recipes!
Classic style – Top with a pat of butter, a dollop of sour cream (or greek yogurt), chopped chives or green onions, and a sprinkle of sea salt for that simple, classic baked potato vibe. Loaded – Go all out with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (or turkey bacon), and a side of my vegan ranch dressing for dipping. It’s like a loaded meal in itself! Southwest twist – Add black beans, diced avocado, salsa, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Pair it with either my vegan queso or cottage cheese queso for a creamy, flavorful topping that’s so satisfying. Vegan-friendly – Keep it dairy-free with a drizzle of cashew sour cream or garlic tahini dressing and add crumbled tempeh bacon on top for extra flavor and texture. Chili stuffed – Add a few scoops of chili to the center of the air fryer baked potato. Top with traditional chili toppings and enjoy! Try this with my healthy turkey chili or my easy vegetarian chili.
How to Store & Reheat
Baked potatoes are great for meal prep! I love cooking multiple potatoes during my weekend meal prep to have on hand for the week. Here’s how to store and reheat them:
To store: You can store whole or halved potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. You can also scoop out the flesh and just store that in the fridge. To freeze: To freeze, let your potatoes cool, then scoop out the flesh and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat: Place your potato in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated throughout. You can also microwave to reheat it, but the skin won’t be as crisp.
