Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water.
- Pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel.

- Top with your choice of toppings and serve hot.
Notes
