# What You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 medium-sized russet potatoes, washed and scrubbed thoroughly
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon sea salt
04 -
1 teaspoon black pepper
→ Optional Toppings

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Scrub them with a brush if necessary.
02 -
Dry the potatoes with a clean towel.
03 -
Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato (about 6-8 times) to allow steam to escape during cooking.
04 -
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Brush or spray this mixture generously over the potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated.
05 -
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
06 -
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other for even cooking. Cook for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
07 -
Check if they’re done by inserting a knife or fork into the thickest part of the potato; it should slide in easily. If they need more time, continue cooking in 5-minute increments.
08 -
Once fully cooked, remove the potatoes and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the potatoes and the model of your air fryer.
02 -
Adjust the amount of olive oil and seasoning based on personal taste preference.
03 -
Air fryer baked potatoes can be a healthy base for various toppings to create a filling meal.
