One russet potato cooked in the air fryer until the skin is crisp and the inside is fluffy, then split and topped with butter.

Ingredients

  • 1 russet potato 7½–8 ounces
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt plus extra after cooking
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • Black pepper optional

Directions

  • Wash the potato and dry it well. Prick it all over with a fork. Heat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
  • Rub the potato with the oil and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
  • Air-fry it, unwrapped, at 400°F for about 30 minutes.
  • The outside should be crisp and the inside tender, around 205 to 210°F. If it needs more time, cook it in 5-minute rounds.
  • Split the hot potato open and fluff the inside with a fork. Add the butter and more salt or pepper.
