Ingredients
2
russet potatoes
avocado oil
(substitute coconut oil)
1
tablespoon
sea salt
sour cream
optional
crumbled bacon
optional
butter
optional
green onions
optional
cheddar cheese
optional
Instructions
Scrub the outside
of the potatoes with water very thoroughly.
Use a knife or fork and
pierce the potatoes
several time around the outside of the potato.
Rub the oil on the outside of each potato and
sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt
.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook at
400F degrees for 40 minutes
.
Remove, slice down the center and serve with butter, bacon, cheese, sour cream and green onions...or any topping of your choice!
Notes
Make sure the outside of the potatoes have been
cleaned thoroughly
so you can eat that crispy, salty skin!
Flip the potatoes halfway through
to make sure the skin browns evenly.
Start
checking potato doneness with a knife at 30 minutes
. Once the knife easily pierces through the center of the potato, it is done.
I recommended using
avocado or coconut oil
as I find the olive oil can impart a slightly bitter taste cooked at higher heat.
Be careful when removing the potatoes from the air fryer basket as they will be
very hot
.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket
- 2 potatoes is typically all I can fit in one row.
