Equipment
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.
