A Step-by-Step Culinary Journey

1. Selecting the Perfect Potato

The foundation of a great baked potato lies in the selection of the right potato. Opt for medium-sized potatoes with smooth, unblemished skin. Russet potatoes are a popular choice due to their high starch content, which yields a fluffy interior.

2. Thoroughly Scrubbing and Drying

To ensure the removal of any dirt or debris, thoroughly scrub the potatoes under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel to prevent excess moisture from interfering with the crisping process.

3. Seasoning with Culinary Precision

Generously brush the potatoes with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add your favorite herbs and spices for an extra layer of flavor.

4. Piercing for Perfection

Using a fork, pierce the potatoes several times. This will allow steam to escape during the cooking process, preventing the potatoes from bursting.

5. Power XL Air Fryer Magic

Place the potatoes in the Power XL Air Fryer basket and set the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Cook for approximately 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

6. A Moment of Culinary Bliss

Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing them open. Top with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, cheese, or chili, and savor the culinary masterpiece you have created.
