- Preheat your air fryer using the "air fry" setting, at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.* Once preheated add the prepared potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 35-40 minutes until soft and tender, flipping halfway through. Enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings.Sour cream, butter, cheese, bacon, or herbs
Notes
- Choose evenly sized Russet potatoes (about 8–10 oz.) so they cook at the same time.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly before oiling to help the skins crisp.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket, space allows air to circulate for even cooking.
- For extra-crispy skins, rub with olive oil and salt halfway through cooking.
- Use a fork to check doneness, they should be tender all the way through. Add more cooking time as needed.
