Ingredients

  • 3 russet potatoes (mine were 300 grams)
  • 1½ tablespoons oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F according to manufacturer directions if required.
  • Wash and dry potatoes thoroughly.
  • Rub all over with oil and season well with salt and pepper. Pierce with a fork once in the middle.
  • Place in the basket of the air fryer, place the basket into the air fryer and cook for 40 minutes (a little less if your potatoes are smaller than mine, a little more if your potatoes are larger than mine).
  • Check doneness be inserting a knife into the center of the potatoes -- if it goes in and comes out easily, they are done. If it seems to get stuck, give them 5-10 more minutes.
