Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium russet potatoes about 8 oz each, scrubbed and dried
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat a 5-quart or larger air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Pierce each potato 6 times; rub with oil and salt.
  2. Space potatoes directly in basket without foil; cook 25 minutes.
  3. Turn; cook 20 to 25 minutes more until centers easily pierce and skins are dry and crisp. Add 5 minutes if center remains firm.
  4. Transfer to plates; rest 3 minutes. Slit lengthwise, gently press ends inward, and fluff flesh with a fork.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon butter and half the pepper to each; serve immediately.
