Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives, bacon bits

Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes: Scrub potatoes clean and dry thoroughly. Pierce each potato 4–5 times with a fork.
2. Coat with oil: Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Air fry: Place potatoes directly in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and tender when pierced.
4. Cut and fluff: Slice each potato open, fluff the inside with a fork, and add your favorite toppings.
5. Serve hot with butter, sour cream, cheese, or bacon.

Tip: For extra crispiness, spray the potatoes lightly with cooking spray before cooking!
