To cook a jacket potato in an air fryer, follow these steps: Ingredients:

• Baking potatoes (preferably floury varieties like Maris Piper, King Edward, or Russet)
• Oil (olive oil or avocado oil)
• Salt

Method:

1. Prepare the potato:
   • Scrub and dry the potatoes.
   • Prick the potatoes several times with a fork or knife.
   • Rub the potatoes all over with a little oil and sprinkle with salt. This helps to crisp the skin

2. Cooking in the air fryer:
   • Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding.
   • Cook at around 190°C to 200°C (374°F to 400°F).
   • Cook for 40-55 minutes depending on the size of the potato.
   • Turn the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping

 * Check doneness by inserting a skewer or knife; it should slide in easily when the potato is cooked

3. Optional faster method:
   • Microwave the pierced potatoes on high for 5-10 minutes (depending on quantity and size) to speed up cooking.
   • Then transfer to the air fryer at a higher temperature (around 200-240°C) for 10-15 minutes to crisp the skin

4. Serving:
   • Slice open the cooked jacket potato.
   • Fluff the inside with a fork.
   • Add butter and your favorite toppings such as cheese, sour cream, beans, or avocado

This method results in a jacket potato with a crispy skin and a fluffy, tender interior, ready to enjoy in under an hour or less with the microwave shortcut
