Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Scrub potatoes clean and dry thoroughly. Poke each potato 6-8 times with a fork.
- 2
Rub with olive oil and sprinkle generously with coarse salt.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until a knife slides through with no resistance.
- 4
Cut a slit down the top, squeeze the ends to open. Fluff the inside with a fork.
- 5
Load with butter, sour cream, cheddar, bacon bits, and chives.
Tip: Don't wrap in foil — it steams the skin instead of crisping it. The oil and salt are what create that restaurant-quality crackly skin.

- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
