Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes (6–8 oz each) – Scrubbed and dried

- 1 tbsp coarse sea salt – Enhances flavor
- 1/2 tsp black pepper – To taste
- Butter and sour cream – Optional for serving
- Chives – Optional garnish
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry to ensure the skins crisp up.

- Rub olive oil over the skins and season with salt to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and arrange potatoes without touching for airflow.
- Cook for 35 minutes at 400°F while flipping halfway until skins are golden.
