Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Sea salt
- Optional toppings: butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, bacon bits
Equipment Needed
- Air fryer
- Cooking brush (for olive oil)
- Fork or knife (for poking holes)
- Tongs
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, give your potatoes a good rinse under cold water to remove any dirt. I usually use a vegetable brush for this to ensure they’re nice and clean. Once they’re rinsed and dried, poke several holes in each potato using a fork or knife. This step is essential, as it allows steam to escape during cooking and prevents them from bursting. Now, coat each potato lightly with olive oil, rolling them around to make sure they’re evenly covered, and sprinkle sea salt generously over each one. It’s that perfect seasoning that enhances the natural flavor! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
