Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
- Cook: Place potatoes in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for air circulation. Cook for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the center.
- Serve: Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon bits, or chives.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on potato size.
- For extra crispy skin, pierce potatoes with a fork before oiling.
- You can keep cooked potatoes warm in the air fryer at 200°F (95°C) for up to 15 minutes before serving.
