Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 russet potatoes (approximately 300 grams each)
- 1½ tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive oil recommended)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even cooking and crispy skin.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt, then dry them completely with a clean towel to help the oil and seasoning stick.
- Season the Potatoes: Rub each potato all over with the oil. Generously season with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor. Pierce each potato once in the middle with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch for proper air circulation. Insert the basket into the air fryer and cook for 40 minutes. Cooking time may vary based on potato size; adjust time accordingly.
- Check for Doneness: After 40 minutes, insert a knife into the center of each potato. If it slides in and out easily, the potatoes are done. If the knife feels resistance, continue cooking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until tender.
Notes
- For smaller potatoes, reduce cooking time slightly to prevent overcooking.
- You can use olive oil for added flavor, or any neutral oil if preferred.
- Adding herbs like rosemary or garlic powder to the seasoning can enhance the taste.
- The crispiness of the skin depends on the drying step - make sure the potatoes are well dried before oiling.
- Serve with sour cream, chives, butter, or your favorite toppings for a complete side dish.
