Try doing a PREPARE and then EXPLAIN EXECUTE, like

alvherre=# prepare foo as select generate_series(1, $1);
PREPARE

alvherre=# explain analyze execute foo(100);
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Result (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=0.014..0.294 rows=100 loops=1)
Total runtime: 0.550 ms
(2 filas)

alvherre=# explain analyze execute foo(10000);
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Result (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=0.012..35.082 rows=10000 loops=1)
Total runtime: 59.077 ms
