Ingredients
- 2 jumbo baking potatoes
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil divided
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Wash & scrub the potatoes, then pat them dry with paper towels.
- Using a sturdy fork, prick holes on all sides of the potatoes.
- Rub half of the oil onto each potato, really getting a good even coating.
- Season all sides of the oiled potatoes generously with salt.
- Lightly spray your air fryer basket with non stick cooking spray, then place the potatoes in the basket.
- Air fry them at 400° for 30-35 minutes. If the potatoes aren't cooked through, cook in additional 3 minute increments until done.
- Let the cooked potatoes rest for 2 full minutes, then carefully remove from the hot basket.
- Cut them open, fluff the insides lightly with a fork, top with desired toppings, and serve.
Notes
- Don't skimp on the olive oil. It adds flavor and creates perfect, crisp skins.
- The same goes for the sea salt.
- While pricking the potatoes isn't one hundred percent necessary, I recommend it because it allows the olive oil and the salt to seep into the interior of the potato.
