Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Give your potatoes a good scrub and dry them completely—dry skins make for crispier results.
Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Coat them evenly with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Cook in the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
Place the potatoes in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between them for air circulation.
Air fry for 40–45 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the skins are crispy and the centers are fork-tender. (Cooking time may vary depending on size.)
Test for Doneness
Stick a fork or skewer into the middle of a potato—it should slide in easily with no resistance.
If they need more time, continue cooking in 5-minute intervals.
Serve and Top
Let the potatoes cool slightly, then cut them open and fluff the insides with a fork.
Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
