Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 teaspoon Neutral Oil (I used Avocado Oil)
- 1½ teaspoon Coarse Salt
Instructions
- Wash, scrub and pat dry three Russet potatoes.
- Using a fork prick holes in a few places.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of a neutral oil on them and rub the oil to coat the potatoes evenly. Season with coarse salt or garlic salt.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 F.
- Once hot, place the potatoes in the basket and cook for 40 minutes, turning once around the 20 minute mark.
- After 40 minutes check of they are fork tender. If they are; remove using a pair of tongs and set on a plate.
- Slit them lengthwise and fluff with a fork. Serve with salt, pepper butter or add toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Use potatoes that are almost equal in size so they cook at the same time.
- I used medium russet potatoes and they were fork tender in 40 minutes. Adjust the time based on the size of potatoes.
- Use an oil with a higher smoke point like Avocado or Canola. Olive Oil works too, but not the virgin one. It will result in a lot of smoke from the air fryer.
- Lastly, do not overcrowd the air fryer. Make 4-5 at a time to ensure they have enough space to cook all around.
