Ingredients

Scale

46 medium Russet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C)
Use a fork to prick each potato in multiple places
In a bowl, toss potatoes in olive oil and sea salt until evenly coated
Place potatoes in air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping
Cook for 35-40 minutes until skin is golden and crispy
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and adding desired toppings


Notes

Storage: Keep cooked potatoes in an airtight container for up to 3 days

Toppings: Try Greek yogurt, vegan cheese, sautéed mushrooms, or chives for a Mediterranean twist
For extra crispiness, pat potatoes dry after pricking to minimize moisture
