Ingredients:

  • 2 large Russet potatoes (approximately 8-10 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • Optional toppings: butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, cooked bacon, chives, chili, etc.

Instructions:

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes.
  2. Pierce each potato multiple times with a fork.
  3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Rub or brush the oil mixture evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
  6. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the center.
  7. Use a fork to test for doneness. A perfectly cooked potato will be soft and yielding.
  8. Cut open the potatoes, fluff the insides with a fork, and add your favourite toppings. Enjoy this tasty air fryer baked potato recipe!
