Ingredients

  • 4 Russet potatoes medium
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp coarse salt

Instructions

  • Scrub the dirt off the potatoes and prick a hole in the skin with a fork or knife.
  • Rub olive oil all over the potatoes and sprinkle them with salt.
  • Place them in the air fryer and set the temperature to 400°F. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Check the potatoes after 15 to 20 minutes. If they start to get too brown on top, flip them over.
  • Potatoes are done if they feel soft when you squeeze them or they are fork-tender. Cook larger potatoes for an additional 10 to 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket and don’t stack the potatoes on top of each other. If you have a small basket you might only be able to fit 2 potatoes in it at a time. 
  • The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes. Start checking them after 25 to 30 minutes. If they are fork-tender they are done.
