Seasoned Baked Potato Recipe: Easy and Delicious!

I love baking my baked potatoes in the air fryer but you can certainly bake them in the oven or the microwave. I season the outside of my potatoes and my family truly enjoys them this way. You will need the following ingredients:

Recipe:

3 - 4 large russet baking potatoes

2 tablespoons of oil

2 tablespoons of coarse salt

1 teaspoon of black pepper

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of dried onion

(or you could use 3 tablespoons of seasoning with all 3 of these in it)

Toppings: sour cream, butter, chives, bacon, and/or cheese

Wash and scrub the potatoes and let them dry.

Add the oil and rub the potatoes to coat all sides of the potatoes.

In a bowl or plate add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried onion and mix together.

Place the oil coated potatoes into the mixture and roll them around making sure to coat all of the potato.

Place the coated potatoes into the air fryer and cook on 400 degrees for 45 -55 minutes. Cooking time will vary on how large the potatoes are.

Note: You can cook the potatoes in the oven or microwave I just enjoy using my air fryer especially in the summer months. You can also make extras and just heat them up the micowave for a delicious lunch option when you are short on time.

I like to serve these potatoes as a side to some grilled steak, chicken, fish or pork chops.
