Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Potatoes
Scrub potatoes under running water and pat dry thoroughly—dry skin crisps better.
Use a fork to poke several holes in each potato to release steam.
Rub each potato with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Air Fry to Perfection
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes (if needed).
Place potatoes in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them.
Cook for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skins are crisp and insides are tender. Time may vary based on potato size.
Check for Doneness
Insert a fork or skewer into the center—it should glide in easily.
If needed, cook in 5-minute increments until fully tender.
Serve & Customize
Let potatoes cool slightly, then slice open and fluff with a fork.

Tips for Potato Success
Pick Similar Sizes: Uniform potatoes cook evenly.
Don’t Skip the Oil: It’s key to that golden, crispy skin.
Flip Midway: Ensures even crisping on all sides.
Save & Reheat: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to bring back the crunch.
