Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium russet potatoes (scrubbed and dried)
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
Optional Toppings
- Butter
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheese
- Chives
- Bacon bits
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispy skins.
- Prepare Potatoes: Rub each russet potato all over with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with coarse salt to enhance the flavor and texture of the skin.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure there is space between each potato for proper air circulation.
- Air Fry Potatoes: Cook the potatoes at 400°F for 35 to 45 minutes, turning them once halfway through. The cooking is complete when the skins are crisp and a fork easily pierces the center.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Slice open, fluff the inside with a fork, and top with butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon bits, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on potato size and air fryer model.
- For extra crispy skin, prick the potatoes with a fork before cooking to allow steam to escape.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the basket to ensure even cooking.
