Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
- Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with sea salt.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 40-50 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes and your air fryer model.
- Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For loaded baked potatoes, prepare your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, or chili.
- Ensure the potatoes are completely dry before oiling and salting for the crispiest skin.
- If you don’t have sea salt, regular table salt can be used, but sea salt provides a better texture for the crispy skin.
