Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Wash and scrub the potatoes, then dry them completely.
  • Poke each potato all over with a fork. Rub with the oil and season every side with coarse sea salt.
  • Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, in batches if needed, and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Test with a fork. If it does not pierce the skin and flesh easily, cook 5 minutes more and repeat as needed.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board.
  • Slice each potato down the center without cutting all the way through, then press the sides open to release steam.
  • Fluff the centers with a fork, add desired toppings, and serve immediately.
