Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 4 Russet potatoes (medium size, about 6–7 ounces each)
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional herbs: ½ teaspoon rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove all dirt. Pat dry completely to ensure the skin crisps well during cooking.
  2. Prick and Season: Use a fork to poke each potato several times to allow steam to escape. Rub each potato evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, black pepper, and optional herbs all over to season thoroughly.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve a crispy potato skin.
  4. Cook the Potatoes: Place the potatoes spaced apart in the air fryer basket for proper air circulation. Cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
  5. Test for Doneness: Pierce the potatoes with a fork or skewer; it should glide in easily without resistance. If needed, cook for an additional 5 minutes to reach desired softness.

Notes

  • Choose potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air flow.
  • Use an oil spray for a light, even coating without excess grease.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for uniform crispiness.
  • Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature has reached around 210°F (99°C) for fluffy centers.
