Crispy sage roasted air fryer baked potatoes deliver a golden, herb-infused potato experience with minimal effort. Salt and pepper seasoning completes this simple side dish that will elevate your meal with minimal kitchen work.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 russet potatoes (300 g / 10.5 oz)
  • 3 tbsps canola oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Thoroughly wash potatoes under running water, removing all dirt, then meticulously dry with kitchen towels.
  2. Seasoning: Generously coat potato surfaces with olive oil, massaging to ensure complete coverage, then liberally season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Air Frying Setup: Arrange potatoes in air fryer basket, maintaining space between them for optimal hot air circulation, and set temperature to 400°F for 35-45 minutes.
  4. Cooking Technique: Halfway through cooking, carefully rotate potatoes to promote even browning and consistent internal cooking, checking doneness by effortlessly inserting a knife into the center.
  5. Resting and Serving: Remove potatoes from air fryer, let rest for 3-5 minutes to complete steaming, then enhance with optional garnishes like chives, crispy bacon bits, or melted cheese before presenting.

Notes

  • Wash Thoroughly: Scrub potatoes meticulously under running water to remove all dirt and bacteria, ensuring a clean exterior before cooking.
  • Oil Massage Technique: Generously coat potato skins with olive oil using gentle circular motions to guarantee maximum crispiness and flavor absorption.
  • Seasoning Pro Tip: Apply salt and pepper liberally across entire potato surface for balanced and enhanced taste profile throughout cooking process.
  • Temperature Precision: Keep air fryer consistently at 400°F and monitor cooking time based on potato size to achieve perfect golden-brown exterior and fluffy interior.
