Ingredients
1 large russet potato
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or to taste)
Instructions
Wash and dry the potato thoroughly.
Use a fork to pierce the potato in several places to prevent bursting.
Brush or spray the surface with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for 5 minutes.
Place the potato in the air fryer basket and cook for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the center—it should be tender.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
