Ingredients
For the baked potato
- 1 medium Russet potato*
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil or your preferred high heat oil
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse salt
Baked potato toppings
- Dollop of vegan butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Chives chopped (Optional garnish)
Instructions
- Using a knife or fork, poke holes into a medium sized Russet potato. Rub the potato with oil, onion powder, and coarse salt. Put in the air fryer.
- Set the air fryer to 390 degrees. 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 degrees. When a fork pierces into the potato easily, it's done.
- Cut through the potato, fluff the interior with a fork, and fill with any or all of the optional toppings.

Notes
*Although this recipe calls for one potato, you can easily quadruple it! Most fryer baskets can hold up to four Russet potatoes. Just be careful not to overfill. You want there to be room for air to flow around them.
Nutrition values are for baked potato without added toppings since those will vary.
