Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes well under cold running water, making sure to remove any excess dirt.
  • Poke potato all over with a fork or sharp knife.
  • Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle salt over potato.
  • Arrange in air fryer basket, without overcrowding, so potatoes have plenty of room to let air circulate around them.
  • Cook in basket at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes.
  • Flip potato and cook another 5-20 minutes, depending on size - cook until potato is easily pierced by butter knife or fork with light pressure.
