Description
Deliciously crispy air fryer baked potatoes, seasoned to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 russet potatoes unpeeled
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil like canola (vegetable or olive oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (I like flaky Kosher salt for this)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush and pat dry. Pierce the skins a few times with a fork.
- Rub the skins lightly with oil then sprinkle generously with salt.
- Place the potatoes in the preheated air fryer basket leaving plenty of room for air to circulate around each potato; no touching!
- Air fry for 40 to 45 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a paring knife into the center of the potatoes. If the knife slides in with little resistance, they’re ready.
- Cut two slits in the tops of the potatoes forming an X. Press in at the ends to push the flesh up and out. Serve as is or season with salt, pepper and butter to taste.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding your favorite seasonings before serving.
- Make sure potatoes are similar in size for even cooking.
