Main ingredients
  • 4 pcs medium/large russet potatoes
  • 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 tablespoon coarse salt use kosher or sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Clean your potatoes: Thoroughly wash and dry the russet potatoes to remove any dirt.
  2. Oil them up: Place the potatoes in a bowl, drizzle the olive oil over them, and rub it into the skins using your hands for a nice even coating.
  3. Season generously: Sprinkle the coarse salt and ground black pepper over the potatoes. Turn them several times to ensure each potato is well coated.
Cooking
  1. Air fry away: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Cook for about 35-40 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Notes

For best results, consider serving baked potatoes with sour cream, chives, or melted cheese. They pair well with proteins like grilled chicken or steaks.
