Ingredients
4 medium russet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Scrub and wash the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a towel.
Rub each potato with olive oil to coat the skin evenly.
Sprinkle sea salt all over the potatoes.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through.
Check doneness by inserting a fork or knife — it should slide in easily.
Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly, then slice open and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
Choose similarly sized potatoes for even cooking.
No need to pierce the potatoes before air frying.
Cooking time may vary depending on potato size and air fryer model.
Add toppings like butter, sour cream, cheese, or chives after cooking.
