Ingredients
Scale
2 large russet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with sea salt.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the inside is tender when pierced with a fork. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even crisping.
Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer.
Slice open the top and fluff the inside with a fork. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For loaded baked potatoes, prepare your favorite toppings like cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and chives.
Ensure the potatoes are completely dry before oiling and salting for the crispiest skin.
If your air fryer runs hot, start checking for doneness a few minutes early.
