- Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 400°(F).
- Place potatoes in air fryer basket or tray, set to Air Fry at 400°(F) for 35-45 minutes, turning potatoes halfway through cooking time.

NOTES
Cook times will vary depending on potato size and air fryer. For smaller potatoes (8oz – 10oz) 35-40 minutes should suffice. Potatoes larger than 12oz may take an additional 5-10 minutes.
Test for doneness by piercing the center with a sharp knife. It should easily penetrate the center of the potato and easily be removed.
