Pat the washed potatoes dry with a paper towel. Use a brush and coat each potato entirely with a think layer of cooking oil. Sprinkle salt over the potato skins.
Next, place the potatoes in the air fryer. Set temperature to 400°F and set cooking time for 1 hour then press start and allow the potatoes to cook.
Cooking times may vary depending on the size of potato and your particular air fryer model. Consult the user manual for your model for cooking tips. Potatoes are done when they are soft when gently squeezing the sides.
Serve the air fryer baked potatoes hot with your favorite toppings for baked potatoes.
