- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt

- Toppings of your choice (butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder if using.

- Cook the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are fork-tender and the skin is crispy.
- Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Slice open the potatoes and add your favorite toppings before serving.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary based on the size of the potatoes and the model of the air fryer.

- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and toppings to suit your taste.
