Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Pierce each potato multiple times with a fork.
  3. Spray the potatoes with olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  4. Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through.
