Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Servings: 2 potatoes
- 2 russet potatoes small to medium in size
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- kosher salt to taste
Preheat air fryer to 390º F.
Cut the ends off the potatoes, and pierce the skins several times.
Coat the potatoes in avocado oil, and generously sprinkle them with kosher salt.
Bake the potatoes in the air fryer for 35-45 minutes, depending on size of potatoes.
- Scrubbing the potatoes, cutting off the ends, and poking them ensures your potatoes will have a clean, delicious skin to eat and stops them from building up pressure in the air fryer.
- Don't skip the oil/salt coating on the outside of the potato. It keeps the potato skin moist and helps it crisp up.
- Use uniform sized potatoes, so they cook evenly.
- Reheat Potatoes: Cut the potatoes in half and put them back in the air fryer at 390º for about 8 minutes.
