This air fryer baked potato recipe makes tender, delicious baked potatoes with crispy, flavorful skin. Finish them with a dollop of sour cream, if you'd like.

I thought it could be helpful to share how to make a baked potato in the oven, in the air fryer, or in the microwave. There are some pros and cons to each, which I will also share.
