Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Loaded Baked Potato Foil Packs

Here are the simple ingredients, you will need:

• Russet potatoes: You can use any cooking potato, Russet does well holding its shape while baking. (or air frying)
• Olive Oil: Or use another high-heat oil. I like olive oil because it has a neutral taste.
• Garlic and Herb Seasoning
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Optional Toppings: Sour cream, sliced olives, diced green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and bacon bits.

How To Make Air Fryer Loaded Baked Potato Foil Packs

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

Step One: Start by slicing your potatoes. I used about 1/4 inch thick. The key is to ensure they are all sliced the same so they air fry simultaneously.

Step Two: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, olive oil, garlic and herb seasoning mix, salt, and black pepper.

Step Three: Layout your foil and add about 1/4 of the potatoes to each pack, making four foil packs. Close the foil packs closed by folding up the sides and pinching the edges to seal.

Step Four: Set the potato packages into the air fryer for 10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting. I checked my potatoes for around 12 minutes, and they were done, so I removed them from the air fryer, topped them with shredded cheese, and returned them to the air fryer for a couple of minutes until the cheese melted. Add your favorite toppings!

Air Fryer Loaded Baked Potato Foil Packs Recipe Tips

• Uniform Cutting: Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Smaller pieces cook faster and become crispier.
• Season Generously: Don’t skimp on seasoning the potatoes with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices for maximum flavor.
• Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to ensure the foil packs start cooking immediately and cook more evenly.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Cook the foil packs in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the air fryer, which can lead to uneven cooking.
• Check for Doneness: Check the potatoes halfway through cooking and adjust the time if needed. The potatoes should be tender and the cheese melted.
• Add Toppings Last: If using additional toppings like sour cream or green onions, add them after cooking to keep them fresh and vibrant.
• Wrap Foil Packs Tightly: Seal the foil packs tightly to lock in moisture and flavor, but avoid making them too tight to allow for some air circulation.
