Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes (about 7 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF.
  • Pierce each potato 3-4 times with a fork. Rub the potato skins all over with olive oil and season generously with salt. Place in your air fryer basket.
  • Air fry the potatoes for 25-40 minutes, or until the skins looks wrinkled and the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork or knife.
  • Remove the potatoes from your air fryer to cool. Once they're cool enough to handle, split them open and fill with your favorite toppings.
