Equipment

Cosori Air Fryer

Ingredients

4 Medium russet potatoes about 10 oz each
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt to taste

Instructions

Start by giving the potatoes a good scrub and rinse under cold water. Then dry the potatoes well using paper towel or a clean, lint free kitchen towel.
Rub a bit of olive oil over the skins of the potatoes and sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket leaving a bit of room between them.
Set the air fryer at 390°F for 40 minutes. At the 20 minute mark turn the potatoes.
When the timer is complete check the potatoes for doneness. They should have a golden, crispy skin and should feel slightly soft when given an gentle sqeeze.
Serve immediatly. If you are not going to serve right away, slice a small hole in the middle of the potatoes with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape and prevent soggy potatoes.

Notes

I use medium potoatoes for baking (about 10oz each). If you are using smaller potatoes start with 35 minutes cook time and check for doneness. Larger potatoes may need an extra 5 minutes.
