Your favorite ingredients
PREPARATION:
Start by washing the potatoes well. Then tap each one a few times with a fork to avoid surprises in the fryer.Gently brush each potato with olive oil. This step is the key to that irresistible crispy skin.
Season with salt to enhance flavor and reduce moisture for the perfect crunch.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, giving them enough room to breathe.
Set your air fryer to 390°F and cook for 35 to 45 minutes.Turn them over halfway through to ensure they are evenly crisped.
Check the doneness by squeezing them lightly (with your hand protected, of course). You should give in to the pressure.
Cut, loosen and top with side dishes of your choice.
Variations and Tips:
Refine your potatoes with toppings like sour cream, cheese, bacon pieces, chives or even chili for a heartier dish.I escaped? Cutting the potatoes into smaller pieces can shorten the cooking time, but this changes the classic presentation.
Experiment with spices like garlic powder or paprika mixed with olive oil for a unique twist.
