Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 35–40 minutes
Total: 40–45 minutes
2–4 medium russet potatoes (or any starchy potato)
1–2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
Salt (coarse or sea salt works best)
Optional: black pepper, garlic powder, or herbs for extra flavor
Wash and scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt — you’ll be eating the skin!
Pat them completely dry with a paper towel; moisture prevents crisping.
Rub each potato with a bit of olive oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle with salt and, if you like, a little pepper or garlic powder for flavor.
Preheat your  Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the potatoes directly in the basket (no foil needed).
Cook for 35–40 minutes, turning them halfway through.
⏱️ Tip: Cooking time depends on potato size — smaller ones may be done in 30 minutes, large ones may take 45.
Pierce a potato with a fork or knife — it should slide in easily. If not, cook for another 5 minutes.
Let them cool slightly, then slice open and fluff the inside with a fork.
Add your favorite toppings!
Classic: Butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, and chives.
Cheesy: Melted cheddar, crispy bacon bits, and green onions.
Healthy: Greek yogurt, avocado, and steamed broccoli.
Choose similar-sized potatoes so they cook evenly.
Avoid wrapping them in foil — the air fryer needs circulation for crispiness.
Leftovers? Slice and reheat them in the air fryer for 5 minutes — they’ll be just as crispy!
