Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet or Idaho potatoes
- 1 –2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley optional
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them completely dry.
- Use a fork to poke small holes around each potato to let steam escape.
- Rub the potatoes with avocado oil and season evenly with salt, garlic powder, and parsley.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the potatoes in the basket, making sure they are not touching.
- Air fry for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
- Check for doneness by inserting a fork—it should slide in easily.
- Slice open and serve with butter, sour cream, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Larger potatoes may take 45–50 minutes to cook.
- For extra crisp skin, rub with a little more oil halfway through cooking.
- Avoid using foil in the air fryer as it blocks airflow.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat at 375°F for 6–8 minutes.
