Ingredients
- 5 russet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash and dry the potatoes.
- Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork so they won't explode in the air fryer.
- Lay parchment paper with holes in it in the air fryer basket or spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Lay the potatoes in the basket in a single layer.
- Brush all around each potato with olive oil.
- Sprinkle Kosher salt all around each potato.
- Put the basket into the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes being sure to flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking process.
Notes
- Cooking times can vary from one air fryer to the next due to different power outputs.
- If you are cooking less than 5 potatoes the cooking time can be less too.
- Also, the size of the potatoes can be a factor in the cooking time. Smaller potatoes cook faster than larger potatoes. Be sure to keep an eye on the potatoes while they cook in your air fryer.
