  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or other neutral oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt fine table salt or crushed sea salt flakes

Notes

  • Pierce the skin of the potatoes before cooking, for the crispiest skin
  • Scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt before baking. This can be done the day before to save prep time.
  • Cook times will vary slightly depending on the size of your fryer and potatoes. Always make sure to cook them until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Store them in the fridge for 3-4 days
  • To reheat the potatoes, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes until cooked through and the outside is crispy.
