Ingredients
4 medium gold potatoes, scrubbed and dried
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Prick each gold potato several times all over with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato evenly with olive oil to coat the skin.
Sprinkle kosher salt and black pepper evenly over all sides of the potatoes.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.
Cook the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork or skewer into the center of a potato; it should slide in easily.
Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
