Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium Russet potato
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
  • Dollop of vegan butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Chopped chives

Method
 

  1. Using a knife or fork, poke holes into a medium-sized Russet potato. Rub the potato with avocado oil, onion powder, and coarse salt. Place it in the air fryer for even cooking.
  2. Set the air fryer to 390°F. Cook for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway through. (The time will vary depending on the size of your potato.) If the potato gets too dark on the outside, lower the temperature to 370°F. When a fork pierces into the potato easily, it's done.
  3. Carefully remove the potato from the air fryer. Cut through the potato lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, and gently fluff the interior with a fork to create pockets for toppings.
  4. Add a dollop of vegan butter to the hot, fluffed potato. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste for enhanced flavor.
  5. Garnish with chopped chives for freshness and flavor, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crispy and fluffy baked potato!

Notes

- For the crispiest skin, ensure the potato is completely dry before rubbing with oil and seasoning. Any moisture will steam rather than crisp.
- To check for doneness, a metal skewer or fork should slide into the potato easily without resistance. The internal temperature of a fully cooked potato should be around 205-212°F (96-100°C).
- Leftover baked potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
