Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Toppings (sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon bits, etc.)

Instructions
 

Wash and Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub each potato under running water to remove any dirt. Dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

    Poke the Potatoes: Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato. This helps steam escape while cooking and prevents them from bursting.

      Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). Make sure each potato is evenly coated with oil and seasonings.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

          Air Fry the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking. Check for doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily.

            Finish and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing them open. Top with your favorite toppings like sour cream, chives, shredded cheese, or crispy bacon bits.
