Batatas assadas na air fryer com manteiga e pimenta-do-reino

Ingredientes

• 4 medium-sized russet baking potatoes (8 ounces each), washed and dried (32 ounces total)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper, for topping
• Butter, for topping

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. If your air fryer model does not require preheating, you may skip this step. Refer to your user’s manual for best results.

2. 2

   Oil the Potatoes: Use a pastry brush to liberally coat each washed and dried potato with the extra virgin olive oil, ensuring all surfaces are covered for crispiness.

3. 3

   Season Potatoes: Evenly sprinkle kosher salt on both sides of each oiled potato to enhance flavor and assist in crisping the skin.

4. 4

   Air Fry Potatoes: Place each potato in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 25 minutes on one side, then carefully flip each potato and continue cooking for another 20 to 25 minutes. To check doneness, insert a kitchen knife into the center of a potato; if it slides in easily, the potatoes are fully cooked. If not, continue cooking in 5-minute increments until tender.

5. 5

   Prepare and Serve: Using a sharp kitchen knife, slice down the center of each potato without cutting all the way through. Fluff the inside with a fork, add butter, sprinkle fresh cracked black pepper on top, and serve immediately while hot.
