    Air Fryer Baked Potatoes

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    This simple vegan air fryer baked potato recipe is ridiculously healthy and delicious. Fear white potatoes no more! They are actually extremely powerful superfoods. Read on...

    Why do white potatoes get such a bad rap? Well, most likely it started with the fear of "starch" and carbohydrate foods. And then add the notion that colorful foods are the healthiest ones we can eat...it would make sense that white potatoes were demonized.

    If you are avoiding white foods like dairy, pasta, white rice and white bread, please consider keeping potatoes in your diet, especially if you have autoimmune.

    Some of the health benefits of potatoes are amino acids, protein, phytochemicals, lysine, trace minerals, fiber, potassium and much more! Eat the skins...I perfer to eat this like a taco instead of a fork 🙂

    Other toppings you will love on this:

    Vegan Cashew Sour Cream

    Creamy Tahini Dressing

    Spicy Mayo

    Ingredients

    Ingredients are very versatile. Have fun topping your air fryer potatoes.

    • kennebec potatoes
    • fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, chives and cilantro
    • salt & pepper
    • olive oil
    • avocado
    • tomatoes

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions for air fryer baked potatoes

    Using an air fryer, you will cook your potatoes whole, cut them in half, and then mash the insides but keeping it all inside the skin.

    Add olive oil or coconut oil for creaminess. I'm a savory salty person so I LOVE adding lots of salt and pepper.

    I'm also a HUGE fan of fresh herbs like basil, parsley, chives, and cilantro. So chose to top my potatoes with those and onion as well. Feel free to add whatever else you personally love like mint or red onion.

    I say no thanks to the traditional sour cream and instead choose avocado. Wonderful for autimmune diets, and it includes tomatoes as well, yes, tomatoes.

    countertop with 2 kennebec potatoes. a knife cutting one of them in half.
    a fork mashing the insides of the potatoes on a countertop in a bowl.
    fingers sprinkling olive oil and sea salt over the lightly mashed baked potatoes.

    Load up the potatoes and have fun. Beens are a great option as well for additional protein, nutrients and fiber.

    Hint: Be sure to eat the skin, I like to prefer to eat these like tacos. Also, you can watch me make these on my INSTAGRAM reel.

    Substitutions

    There are lots of substituations here.

    • Fresh herbs - you can use chopped lettuce or arugula instead
    • Potato - use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes if you'd prefer
    • Avocado - try a cashew sour cream or cashew cheese

    This dish is full of all the important foods for an anti-virus autoimmune diet.

    Variations

    There are so many fun options with this recipe.

    • Spicy - add a spicy mayo or sriracha on top of your potato
    • Protein - add a faux meat or any types of beans for added protein
    • Kid friendly - sometimes kids don't love herbs, so add extra avocado and sub herbs for beans or meat
    • Cheesy - add vegan cheese of any kind here or tahini sauce

    See this sweet potato version on my website!

    Equipment

    You will need an air fryer for this recipe. But don't fret, you can easily bake these potatoes in the oven. I prefer the Ninja because it also has a dehydrator feature. And I love making flax crackers, kale chips, and other dehydrated healthy foods.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
