Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Russet potato Choose large potatoes for best results.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For brushing the potatoes.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt For seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder For added flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika For added flavor.
  • optional Butter For serving.
  • optional Sour cream For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by slicing the Russet potato across the top, but be careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. Brush the potato with olive oil, making sure to coat it well.
  3. Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, and paprika over the potato for added flavor.
Cooking
  1. Place the potato in an air fryer set to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook for 35–40 minutes, flipping the potato halfway through, until it is golden and crispy.
  3. If you like, serve with butter and sour cream on top for extra taste.

Notes

Offer toppings like butter, sour cream, chives, or cheese on the side for a customizable dining experience. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
