Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thoroughly scrubbing and drying the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Next, pierce each potato with a fork 8 to 10 times.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over each potato and massage it into the skin. Then, sprinkle coarse salt generously over the surface, pressing it gently.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Place the seasoned potatoes in the fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes.
  4. After 20 minutes, use tongs to flip each potato gently and continue air frying for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer, let them rest for a couple of minutes, then slice them lengthwise to serve.
