“Indulge in crispy perfection with our Air Fryer Blooming Baked Potato recipe. Enjoy tender russet potatoes seasoned to perfection, crisped to golden perfection in the air fryer, then adorned with your favorite toppings for a delicious twist on a classic dish.”
☆Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings of your choice (e.g., shredded cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, chives)
4 medium-sized russet potatoes
☆Instructions:
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the Potatoes: Place each potato on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make several parallel cuts along the length of each potato, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Be careful not to slice all the way through.
Season the Potatoes: Brush each potato with olive oil, making sure to get the oil into the slices. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Add Toppings: Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Gently separate the slices to create the “blooming” effect. Add your desired toppings, such as shredded cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, and chives.
Serve: Serve the blooming baked potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or as a main course.
