Use the air fryer instead!
Oven Or Air Fryer: Which Makes The Best Baked Potato?
Resist the urge to go with the higher temperature.

I found that the potatoes cooked at a higher temperature formed a thick, firm layer under the skin.
Cooking the potatoes at 390F yields a thin, crisp outer layer thats much more enjoyable.
The cook time will depend on the size of the potato.

Small potatoes (4 to 6 ounces) will need to cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
Medium to medium-large potatoes (8 to 10 ounces) will need 40 to 45 minutes.
Large potatoes (about 12 ounces) will need about 1 hour.

If your air fryer is smaller, you may need to cook the potatoes in batches.
If your air fryer has multiple prefs, use the air fry setting.
Wash and scrub the potatoes and pat them dry with a towel.

Poke each potato all around about 16 times with a fork.
Rub each potato with 3/4 teaspoon olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt.
Place the potatoes into the basket of the air fryer, leaving about 1 inch between each potato.

The knife should be able to slide right through the potato.
Remove the potatoes from the air fryer with a pair of tongs.
Use a fork to fluff the insides of the potato.

Serve immediately while the insides are still hot and the skin is still crispy.
The potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
