Crispy on the outside, cloud-soft on the inside, this air fryer baked potato is proof that the classic diner-style spud doesn't need an oven at all. A quick coat of olive oil plus a generous hit of kosher salt and black pepper gives the skin that deep, crackly crust everyone fights over, while the interior steams itself into a fluffy, fork-tender center. The air fryer basket does the heavy lifting here, circulating hot air so every side gets evenly crisp without babysitting a hot oven for an hour. Once it's done, split it open, fluff the inside a bit with a fork, and load it up with butter, shredded cheddar, and a scatter of fresh chives for a warm, satisfying finish. It's a simple, produce-forward dish that fits easily into a low FODMAP kitchen, and it makes a filling side or a light meal on its own. Best of all, it scales effortlessly — make one or make four, and everyone gets their own perfectly crisp potato.
