Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
- Pierce each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Test for doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily.
- Let cool a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Use similar-sized potatoes for even cooking. For extra crispy skin, air fry 3-5 minutes longer. Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 5 minutes.
