Ingredients:
- 2-4 medium-sized russet potatoes

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
- Using a fork, poke a few holes all over each potato to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Season the Potatoes:
- Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the potatoes, rubbing it in to coat the skins evenly.

- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

- Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
- Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 35-45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- The potatoes are done when a fork can easily pierce through the center and the skins are crispy.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the potatoes open and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Add your favorite toppings such as butter, sour cream, chives, shredded cheese, bacon bits, or any other desired toppings.
