  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2: Prep the Potatoes

  3. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Air Fry the Potatoes

  1. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.

Notes

 

  • Potato Size Matters: Adjust cooking time for larger or smaller potatoes.
  • Oil Options: Use olive oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil if preferred.
  • Toppings: Try chili, bacon bits, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for variety.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for crispy skin.
