Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • to taste Sea salt
  • to taste Black pepper
Optional toppings
  • sour cream
  • shredded cheese
  • chives
  • bits

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. With a fork, poke several holes all around each potato, about 6-8 times to prevent them from exploding in the air fryer.
  3. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated. Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper all over the potatoes.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned potatoes in the basket, leaving some space in between for air circulation.
  2. Cook for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy outside.
  3. To check for doneness, insert a fork; it should glide in easily. If the potatoes need more time, give them an additional 5 minutes.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Top with your favorite toppings and dive in!

Notes

Store uneaten potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to regain crispiness. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheating will be less crispy but still delicious.
