- Start by cleaning the dirt off the potatoes, use a scrubber or your hands to wash the potatoes under running water, them properly pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Poke some holes in the potatoes with a fork, this should take about 10 seconds.
- Rub some oil and sprinkle some salt on all sides and place in the air fryer basket.
- Bake them in the air fryer at 400°F (205°C) for about 45-48 minutes, you could choose to flip it midway or just let them sit in the basket until the time is up. (Remember that the size and number of the potatoes would affect the cooking time if you’ll be using small ones the potatoes would cook faster around 30 minutes and if you’ll be making larger ones it would take longer).
- When the 45 minutes is up check for doneness using a fork, and pierce through the potatoes to check if they are soft enough. If they are, remove them but if they are not put them back into the air fryer for additional 3 -5 minutes.
- Slice the middle of the potatoes and add some slices of butter inside, sprinkle with some salt, pepper, dried parsley, and garlic powder. (Use any seasoning or topping of your choice).
