Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt kosher salt preferred
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
  • Pat the potatoes dry with paper towels and prick each potato several times with a fork.
  • Rub olive oil all over the potatoes and sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  • Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
  • Cook the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
  • Check doneness by inserting a fork; potatoes should be tender inside.
  • Remove potatoes from the air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
