Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes about 700g or 1.5 lb.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Cut them into evenly-sized wedges or cubes, about 1-inch thick.
- In a large bowl, drizzle the potato wedges with olive oil, making sure each piece is well coated. Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt and pepper and toss them gently to ensure even seasoning.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
- Once preheated, place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they have some space between them for even cooking.
- Cook the potatoes at 400°F for approximately 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for uniform crispness.
- Check for doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork. If they are tender, cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes for that perfect crispy texture.
- Once done, remove the potatoes from the air fryer, and let them cool for a moment before serving.
- Serve these tantalizing Air Fryer Baked Potatoes immediately with your favorite toppings, and watch as everyone falls in love with this delightful dish!
Notes
Feel free to get creative with the seasoning! Add garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs to elevate the flavor profile.
For an extra burst of color and nutrients, leave the skin on the potatoes if you prefer.
If you're looking for a vegan version, use plant-based oil like coconut oil or avocado oil instead of olive oil.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple of days and reheated in the air fryer to maintain their crispiness.
