Ingredients
2 medium gold potatoes (about 6-7 ounces each), washed and dried
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Using a fork, poke each gold potato 6-8 times all over to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato evenly with olive oil.
Sprinkle kosher salt and black pepper evenly over the potatoes, rubbing to coat all sides.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Cook the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Check doneness by inserting a fork or skewer into the thickest part of the potato; it should slide in easily.
Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Slice open the potatoes and fluff the insides with a fork. Add your preferred toppings if desired.
