Ingredients

 

  • 2 medium russet potatoes (about 8 oz/225 g each)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

 


Instructions

 

  1. Clean and Dry: Scrub each potato under cold running water until free of dirt. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Vent the Potatoes: Use a fork to poke 8–10 holes all around each potato—this lets steam escape and prevents bursting.
  3. Oil and Salt: Rub the skins evenly with oil, then sprinkle each potato with salt, coating all sides.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400 °F (200 °C) and let it heat for 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange and Cook: Place the potatoes in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between them so air can circulate.
  6. Flip Halfway: After 18–22 minutes, turn each potato to ensure even browning.
  7. Test for Doneness: Total cook time will be 35–45 minutes. Insert a fork into the thickest part—if it slides in easily with no resistance, they’re done.
  8. Rest and Serve: Transfer the potatoes to a plate with tongs and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing open and adding your favorite toppings.
