1. First, wash the potatoes under running water and dry them with a cloth or absorbent paper.
2. Place a potato on a cutting board and, with a sharp knife, make deep slits along the potato, but do not cut all the way through. You can help yourself by positioning two Chinese chopsticks on the sides of the potato so that the knife does not cut all the way through. The slots should be spaced about ½ inch or less apart.
3. Now take a bowl and mix olive oil, salt, black pepper and paprika. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste to give an extra touch of flavor.
4. Brush the potatoes with the flavored oil , trying to let a little oil penetrate into the cracks you have created.
5. Transfer the potatoes to the hot air fryer and cook them at 200°C for approximately 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Once cooked, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
