3-Step Execution Protocol
1
Preheat & Prep
Preheat air-fryer to 400°F (204°C). Place baked russet potatoes (whole) (8–10 oz russet potatoes, poked with fork, rubbed in oil & coarse salt) in a single layer with space between items for convection airflow. Spray lightly with high-smoke-point oil.
2
Cook & Shake / Flip
Cook for 40–45 mins. Flip or shake basket at the 20-minute mark for even browning.
3
Doneness & Rest
Skin is super crispy like potato chips; fork slides into center cleanly. Confirm internal temperature reaches 205°F–210°F (fluffiest texture). Rest for 3 minutes before carving.
