Description
Enjoy perfectly crispy and fluffy yellow baked potatoes made quickly and easily in the air fryer. This recipe yields tender potatoes with a golden, crunchy skin, perfect as a side dish or snack.
Ingredients
2 medium yellow potatoes (about 6-7 ounces each), scrubbed clean
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the yellow potatoes dry with a clean towel.
Pierce each potato several times all over with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch for even cooking.
Cook the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check doneness by inserting a fork or skewer into the thickest part of the potato; it should slide in easily without resistance.
Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
