Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • Medium to large russet potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher or Himalayan salt
  • Other optional seasonings:  black pepper, garlic salt or paprika

Instructions
 

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Poke holes all over each potato with a fork.
  • Brush the potatoes with olive oil and then cover generously with salt.  Rub the salt into the potatoes.
  • Place potatoes in the air fryer basket or rack.
  • Cook potatoes at 390-400 degrees for 35-40 minutes for medium potatoes, flipping them halfway through.  Potatoes are done when the skin is crispy and a fork slides easily into the center.
  • Serve plain or with your favorite toppings:  Butter, sour cream, broccoli, chili, grated cheese, chopped bacon, etc.  I like half broccoli and half turkey chili sprinkled with cheese as pictured in this blog.
  • Notes:

    *Russet potatoes work best for baking. *Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket or rack. *Larger potatoes may need extra cooking time. *Season potatoes immediately after cooking for extra flavor.
