Air Fryer Instructions:
Scrub 2–4 russet potatoes clean and pat dry. Prick each one a few times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle generously with coarse salt (like kosher or sea salt).

Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3–5 minutes.

Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Air fry for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces the center.

Remove and let cool slightly. Slice open and top with butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon bits, or chives—just like Outback!
