Ingredients
4 medium Russet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Scrub potatoes under cold water and prick each with a fork 4-5 times.
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Coat potatoes evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Place potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (no overlapping).
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
Use uniform-sized potatoes for even cooking.
Check for doneness with a fork; cook longer if not fully tender.
