Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.Prepare the potatoes by thoroughly cleaning, washing, and soaking them.
Season the potatoes with onion, pepper, and salt, and add garlic if you want it to be more flavorful.
Take aluminum foil and cover the potatoes, then cut lengthwise, not too deep. Next, add butter to the potatoes.
Cook the potatoes in the fryer basket for a total of 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Flip the potatoes after 20 minutes and cook for another 20 minutes.
With a fork, poke holes in the potatoes. If the potatoes have softened inside and have a crisp exterior, you should stop cooking them.
Garnish with cheese and parsley. For melting the cheese, you can bake it twice, just for a few minutes each time.
Your air fryer baked potatoes are ready. Enjoy!
Notes
Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket. If you put so many potatoes into the basket at the same time, the air would not be able to circulate.
In order to determine whether a potato is cooked through, insert a knife into the center and pierce it easily. If they need more time, you can keep cooking them in the air fryer.
Slice the potatoes down the middle immediately after you remove them from the air fryer basket so they do not become gummy.
When the potatoes are cooked, you can clean the air fryer tray. By doing so, you will ensure that the air fryer runs smoothly.
