Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Russet potatoes Select high-starch varieties for best results.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil Used for coating potatoes.
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt Helps achieve crispy skin.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the Russet potatoes with a kitchen towel.
  2. Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil or avocado oil.
  3. Sprinkle coarse sea salt generously over the potatoes.
  4. Poke holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
  3. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes for medium potatoes, turning halfway through.
  4. Check for doneness by squeezing gently; they should yield easily.

Notes

Avoid wrapping the potatoes in foil to maintain crispiness. Drain any excess moisture after washing to prevent steaming.
