  • Preheat the Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly under cool running water, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  • Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
  • Rub each potato generously with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
