Season potatoes: Brush each potato with oil and top them with a sprinkle of sea salt or kosher salt.
Air fry: Arrange the potatoes in your Air Fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 25-30 minutes or until they’re golden brown and fork tender.
Top and serve: Use a sharp knife to create a slit in each potato, top with your favorite toppings and serve.
Tips & Tricks to Make the Perfect Steakhouse Potatoes in Air Fryer
Just like with all Air Fryer recipes, make sure you don’t overcrowd the basket with too many potatoes, and leave a bit of room between them for the hot air to circulate.
Choose the best quality potatoes you can find. If you see any greenish spots or areas on the potatoes, they’ve gone past their prime, and it’s best not to use them.
Use Russet or Idaho potatoes for this recipe. They have just the right amount of starch, which makes them crispy outside and soft and fluffy inside.
Don’t forget to poke holes into the potatoes. Doing this allows the potato to get soft on the inside, lets the steam escape, and the skin crisps up perfectly on the outside too!
Storage Instructions
Refrigeration: If you have any leftover steakhouse baked potatoes, allow them to cool down completely, wrap them in foil and then transfer them to an airtight container. You can then refrigerate them for up to 3 days and reheat them, top them with your favorite toppings and serve them whenever you want to.
Reheating: The best way to reheat the potatoes is to use your Air Fryer. Add them to the Air Fryer basket, preheated at 360°F and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the potatoes get hot and crispy.
Serving Ideas & Suggestions
These fluffy baked spuds taste incredible when paired with a meaty main like turkey tenderloin, Ninja Foodi pork tenderloin, grilled flank steak or even some Air Fryer prime rib.
And on days when I want to keep it light, I serve it with some classic baked beans, blackstone catfish or even just some air fried catfish.
FAQs
How will I know the potatoes are done cooking? The best way to check for the doneness of the potatoes is to poke a knife or a fork into them at the 20 minute mark. If it glides through, the potatoes are done. You can also use a thermometer to check their internal temperature. The ideal temperature for a fully cooked potato ranges between 210°F and 212°F.
Should I wrap the potatoes in foil before air frying them? If you’re making Air Fryer steakhouse potatoes, you don’t need to cover them in foil. In fact, doing that will cause them to become soft and soggy, and they won’t have that perfect crispy skin you’re looking for.
Can I make steakhouse baked potatoes in the oven? Yes, you can! Air Frying is much better though, since it is quicker than baking, and also translates into less mess and cleanup.

Description
Discover how to make a baked potato in the air fryer with a perfectly crispy skin and fluffy interior! Top it off with butter, cheese, and bacon for a fully loaded treat, or enjoy it plain for a simpler option.
Ingredients
4 Russet potatoes
2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
The first step is to prepare the 4 Russet potatoes. Start by washing them thoroughly with cold water and a vegetable brush.
Remove all dirt and debris, and dry the potato skins with a paper towel. Then, prick each potato several times with a fork. This will help steam escape as they cook in the air fryer and give you a crispy-skinned result.
Next, brush each potato with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle it with 2 teaspoons sea salt. This will add flavor and help the potatoes get nice and crispy in the air fryer
Place the potatoes into your air fryer basket, leaving enough room between them for even cooking. Set the fryer temperature to 400 degrees F and set cook time for 25-30 minutes. Remove when fork tender and golden brown.
