Gluten Free Air Fryer Baked Potato

These russet potatoes come out of the air fryer with deeply crackled, salty skin and a fluffy, steaming interior that practically falls apart when you press it open. A simple rub of olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper is all it takes before the hot air does its work, crisping every side while the flesh inside turns light and tender. The flip halfway through ensures even browning on all sides, so you get that satisfying crunch no matter which way you cut in. Fresh chives scattered over the top add a pop of color and a mild onion bite that plays well against the warm, starchy center. Since the ingredient list is short and straightforward, this is an easy, reliable side to build a gluten free dinner around, whether you're loading it up with toppings or keeping it simple.
