Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Butter, sour cream, cheese, or toppings of your choice (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Dry them completely with a kitchen towel.
- Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
- Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the largest potato; it should slide in easily.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Let them cool for a few minutes.
- Slice open the potatoes, fluff with a fork, and add your favorite toppings before serving.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
- For extra crispy skin, consider increasing the cooking time by a few minutes.
- You can experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder or paprika for added flavor.
