Ingredients
- 3 russet potatoes (300 grams each)
- 1½ tablespoons oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and moisture for a crispy finish.
- Season Potatoes: Rub each potato evenly with the oil, then season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pierce Potatoes: Pierce each potato once in the center with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Cook in Air Fryer: Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap, and cook for 40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a knife; it should slide in easily.
Notes
- You can adjust cooking time slightly based on potato size and model of air fryer.
- For extra crispy skins, rub a little extra oil after cooking.
- Serve topped with butter, sour cream, or your favorite baked potato toppings.
- Leftover baked potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the air fryer for best texture.
