- to taste Black Pepper Optional, for added flavor.

InstructionsÂ
- Begin by selecting the right potatoes. Choose russet potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking. Wash them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Once the potatoes are dry, use a fork to poke holes all over each potato.
- Drizzle the olive oil over each potato, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle salt generously over the oiled potatoes.
- Carefully place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Set the timer for 30 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through for even crispiness.
- Check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center; it should glide in easily.
- Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Consider adding spices to the olive oil or experimenting with various toppings for different flavor profiles.
