  3. Brush the olive oil all over the potatoes, then season the potatoes generously with salt.
  4. Place the potatoes in the basket of the air fryer. Cook for 40-45 minutes or until potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Notes

  • If you're using larger or small potatoes than the size called for in this recipe, you will need to adjust the air frying time up or down accordingly. 
  • Choose potatoes that are similar in size so that they cook at the same rate.
  • If you cannot fit 4 potatoes in the air fryer basket without them touching, you may need to cook them in batches.
