  • 4 russet potatoes medium, about 8 ounces each
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Method
 

  1. Scrub the potatoes clean, pat them dry, and prick each potato several times with a fork.
  2. Rub the potatoes all over with the olive oil, then sprinkle them evenly with the kosher salt.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  4. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Cook at 400°F for 35 to 45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until a knife slides easily into the centers.
  6. Let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For crisp skin, pat the potatoes thoroughly dry before adding the oil. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days; baked potatoes can be frozen. This recipe is naturally gluten-free.
