Equipment
- Skillet
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes uniform in size
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly scrub the potatoes under cold running water. Once clean, pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel. The skin needs to be dry to crisp up in the air fryer.
- Prick the potatoes all over using a fork to allow the steam to escape while cooking. Coat each potato with olive oil. Sprinkle the sea salt uniformly over the potatoes.
- Place the potatoes in the air-fryer basket. Make sure to leave some space between them to allow the air to circulate. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 30 minutes.
- Flip the potatoes using tongs. Continue to cook for an additional 5 to 15 minutes. The potatoes are done when a fork can easily slide through the center of the potato. The exact time will depend on the size of your potatoes.
- Once fully cooked, remove the potatoes from the air-fryer basket with tongs and transfer them to a serving plate. Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing open. Add your favorite toppings before serving.
Notes
Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the air fryer for a quick and easy snack.
