  • 4 pieces Jacket Potatoes (about 290g each or 10.2 oz) Choose firm potatoes with smooth skin.
  • 2 tsp Oil Opt for a light oil that coats the skin evenly.
  • Salt A sprinkle enhances flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prick each potato all over with a fork about four times to help steam escape.

  3. After microwaving, coat skins with oil and sprinkle with salt.
Air Frying
  1. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C (400°F) for 8-10 minutes.
  2. Test for doneness; if resistant, cook in 2-minute intervals until tender.

Notes

Try Russet or Maris Piper potatoes for fluffier texture. For even crispier skins, rub with more oil before air frying. Consider topping with herbs for added flavor.
