Ingredients
  

  • 4 russet potatoes medium, about 8 ounces each
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt

Equipment

  • 1 5- to 6-quart air fryer

Method
 

  1. Preheat a 5- to 6-quart air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.
  2. Scrub the potatoes clean, dry them well, and prick each potato all over with a fork.
  3. Rub the potatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the kosher salt.
  4. Arrange the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook at 400°F for 40 to 50 minutes, turning halfway through, until a knife slides easily into the centers.
  5. Let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before splitting and serving.

Notes

For crisp skins, dry the potatoes well before adding the oil. Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days; freeze them for longer storage. Avocado oil can replace olive oil if desired.
