Directions
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). It’s essential to get the air fryer nice and hot to ensure the potatoes cook evenly and develop that tremendous crispy skin we all love.
-
Wash and dry the russet potatoes. Use cold water to rinse off any dirt and then thoroughly dry them with a kitchen towel. This step helps the skin crisp up beautifully.
-
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper all over. Make sure to coat each potato evenly, as this not only enhances flavor but also contributes to the desirable texture of the skin.
-
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Ensure that they are arranged in a single layer, leaving space between them for proper air circulation.
-
Cook for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through. This ensures that the skin gets crispy all around, and the inside becomes tender. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your potatoes.
-
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving. This brief rest allows the steam to settle, making it easier to cut open the potatoes.
-
Serve with your choice of toppings. Whether you prefer a dollop of butter, a sprinkle of chives, or melted cheese, the options are endless, allowing for customization that fits everyone’s taste.
