Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 russet potatoes (about 300 grams each)
- 1½ tablespoons oil (olive oil or vegetable oil recommended)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) as per the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- Season Potatoes: Rub each potato all over with oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Pierce each potato once in the middle with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart. Insert the basket into the air fryer and cook for 40 minutes. Adjust time slightly depending on the potato size; smaller potatoes may need less time.
- Check Doneness: Test the potatoes by inserting a knife into the center. If it slides in and out easily, the potatoes are cooked through. If resistance is felt, continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes until tender.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, rub the potatoes with a little extra oil before air frying.
- Russet potatoes are preferred for their fluffy texture when baked.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the size and model of your air fryer.
- Allow potatoes to rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving for best texture.
- Top your baked potatoes with sour cream, cheese, chives, or your favorite toppings for a complete meal.
