Rinse the potatoes really well.

Dry the potatoes with a paper towel or kitchen towel.

Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork to let steam release while cooking.

Spray each side of the potatoes with olive oil using a sprayer.

Sprinkle sea salt on the potatoes after oiling them.

Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket.

Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F (205°C).

Set the cooking time for 55 minutes for medium-sized potatoes.

After 30 minutes, take out the basket and flip the potatoes over.

Return the basket to the air fryer for another 20 to 30 minutes.

Check if the potatoes are fork tender after the time is up; if not, add another 10 minutes.

Cut open the potatoes and, if too hot, use tongs to smash them open.

Add butter, salt, and pepper to the inside of the potatoes.

Top with sour cream, grated cheese, green onion, and bacon as desired.
