Ingredients

Medium-sized russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (4-6)

Olive oil (2 tablespoons)

Coarse sea salt (1 teaspoon)

Optional seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder)


Instructions

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly; poke holes in them with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.

Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Test for doneness by inserting a fork; if tender, remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Experiment with toppings like sour cream, chives, or bacon bits for added flavor.

For extra crispiness, preheat your air fryer before cooking.
