Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 3 Russet Potatoes
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly with warm to hot water. Dry them with paper towels.
  • Use a sharp paring knife or fork to poke several holes into each potato.
  • Oil the outside of each potato.
  • Sprinkle the outside of each potato evenly with the salt.
  • Place the potatoes into the basket of your air fryer.
  • Cook the potatoes at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
  • Use metal tongs to flip the potatoes over.
  • Increase the heat. Continue to cook the potatoes at 400 degrees F for an additional 20 - 25 minutes, or until the potatoes have reached an internal range of 205 - 212 degrees F and/or they are easily pierced with a toothpick.
  • If your potatoes are on the small side, adjust the time accordingly. They will take less time to be fully cooked.
  • Top each potato with your favorite toppings: bacon, butter, sour cream, chives, broccoli, cheddar cheese, additional salt and pepper, etc.
