- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 teaspoon Neutral Oil (I used Avocado Oil)
- 1½ teaspoon Coarse Salt
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.
- 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.
