Description
A perfectly crispy and fluffy gold potato baked quickly in the air fryer. This recipe yields a deliciously tender interior with a golden, crisp skin, making it an easy and healthy side dish.
Ingredients
2 medium gold potatoes (about 6 ounces each), scrubbed clean
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the gold potatoes dry with a paper towel.
Pierce each potato 4-5 times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation.
Cook the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check doneness by inserting a fork or skewer into the center of the potatoes; they should be tender inside.
Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
