👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3–5 minutes. This helps the skin crisp up beautifully.
2. Prep the Potatoes
Scrub thoroughly and pat dry.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to let steam escape.
Rub with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Air Fry to Perfection
Place potatoes in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them.
Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Check doneness by inserting a knife—it should glide in easily.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Let cool slightly, then slice open and fluff with a fork.
Add your favorite toppings and garnish with herbs if desired.
