Ingredients
4largebaking potatoes(about 200 grams each)
Cooking spray oil
Saltto taste
Instructions
Scrub the potatoes well with cool water, then air dry until the skins are not wet.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C/400°F.
Prick the potatoes all over with a sharp knife, then spray with oil and rub them to coat them evenly. Sprinkle generously all over with salt, then place them in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are very tender and the skins are slightly wrinkled and crisp. Flip the potatoes using tongs after 25 minutes if they are starting to brown quickly on the top. Cut the potatoes open and serve with your favourite toppings.
Notes
Choose the Right Size. Select potatoes that are approximately the same size to ensure they cook evenly throughout.
Adjust Cooking Time. If you have large potatoes, you might need to add 10 to 20 minutes to the cooking time to ensure they are done properly.
Oil Evenly. Evenly coat your potatoes with oil, ensuring a nice, even layer for that perfect outer crunch. You can spray them, brush on oil, or drizzle and rub them all over with your hands.
Turn Halfway Through. Flipping your potatoes halfway through the cooking time ensures an even crispness and prevents one side from getting too brown.
