Can you put a potato in an air fryer?
Of course! We love air fry baked potatoes and make this air fryer recipe often! Place potatoes in air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes (depending on the size of potatoes). Slice potatoes lengthwise; using both hands, pinch each side of the potatoes, forcing them to open up, forcing the inside of the potato up.
What can you air fry?
You can cook all sorts of things in an air fryer. Using less than a tablespoon of oil or a couple of sprays of canola cooking spray, you can fry beef, chicken, fish, frozen food, and vegetables. Cooking frozen food in the air fryer is very efficient and they are super crispy and taste delicious.

How long does it take to cook potatoes in an air fryer?
Place potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, parsley, chili, salt, and pepper and mix well to combine. Place 8 wedges in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Flip wedges with tongs and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Or, cook a whole potato for 45-50 minutes.
