Ingredients

  • 4 Russet potatoes about 7-9 ounces each
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes under cold water and dry with a paper towel. 
  • Pierce each potato several times with a fork. I usually poke them on all 4 sides and on each end. 
  • Brush each potato with a little oil and sprinkle with salt and put in the air fryer basket in a single layer making sure that there is a little room in between each potato.
  • Air fry at 400° for 30-40 minutes or until a fork goes into the potato easily. 
  • Top potatoes with your favorite toppings.
