Equipment
- Microwave
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 Large Baking Potatoes
- Salt & Pepper
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
Instructions
- Fork the potatoes and then place them directly into the microwave. Microwave the potatoes for 16 minutes on full power. Check that the potatoes are fork tender, then transfer to a plate and allow to cool enough for you to be able to touch them. The fridge for 10 minutes is good for this.
- Then spray the potatoes with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to oil and season the potato skins.
- Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket, spreading them out. If you have a dual you may need to do 2 in each drawer.
- Air fry the baking potatoes for 10 minutes at 180c/360f, when the air fryer beeps turn them over and then cook for a final 5 minutes at the same temperature. Load up with toppings and serve.
Notes
Toppings. You can use any of your favourite toppings. Or in our first air fryer cookbook, we showed you how to make a baked potato bar with lots of different toppings.
