Air Fryer Jacket Potatoes

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 40-50 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 large baking potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Toppings: Butter, sour cream, chives, grated cheese, bacon bits (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer (Low Intensity):
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare Potatoes (Medium Intensity):
   • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
3. Pierce Potatoes (Low Intensity):
   • Use a fork to pierce each potato in several places. This helps steam escape during cooking.
4. Coat with Olive Oil and Salt (Medium-High Intensity):
   • Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring an even coating. Sprinkle salt generously over the potatoes.
5. Air Fry (Medium-High Intensity):
   • Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. The cooking time may vary based on the size of the potatoes and your air fryer model.
6. Check for Doneness (Low Intensity):
   • Test the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork. They should be tender on the inside and have a crispy skin.
7. Slice and Fluff (Low Intensity):
   • Once cooked, slice each potato open and fluff the insides with a fork.
8. Add Toppings (Low Intensity):
   • Add your favorite toppings such as butter, sour cream, chives, grated cheese, or bacon bits.
9. Serve (Low Intensity):
   • Serve the air-fried jacket potatoes immediately while hot.
10. Enjoy your Air Fryer Jacket Potatoes! (Low Intensity):

Note: Customize your toppings to suit your taste. You can also experiment with flavored salts or herb-infused olive oil for added flair. Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of your potatoes for the perfect jacket potato.
