Air Fryer

Ingredients

4 russet potatoes (1/2 lb. each) $2.96
1 Tbsp olive oil $0.12
1 pinch of salt $0.02

Instructions

Wash and dry the potatoes well, then use a fork to prick each potato several times.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then use your hands or a silicone brush to brush the oil over each potato until it is fully coated. Season the potatoes with a pinch of salt.
Place the potatoes inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork or knife. Total baking time will depend on the size of your potatoes.
Once the potatoes are done air frying, remove them from the air fryer basket and allow them to cool slightly. Carefully cut the potatoes open, fluff the inside with a fork, and add your favorite toppings!
