Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes Wash and scrub thoroughly.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Adjust based on personal taste preference.
- 1 teaspoon sea salt Adjust based on personal taste preference.
- 1 teaspoon black pepper Adjust based on personal taste preference.
Optional Toppings
- Various optional toppings Examples include butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon bits.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
- Dry the potatoes with a clean towel.
- Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato (about 6-8 times) to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- 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.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other for even cooking.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 30-35 minutes. About halfway through, flip the potatoes for even crispiness.
- 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.
Serving
- Once fully cooked, remove the potatoes and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the baked potatoes with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Wrap each baked potato in aluminum foil or parchment paper to store. Keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes.
