Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Baking Potatoes
  • sunflower oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes and dry them.
  • Rub the oil into the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pierce all over with a fork or cut a line with a knife. This is to help steam escape and cook evenly.
  • Place the potatoes into the air fryer. Make sure they have space around them for the air to circulate and to give even cooking. For the best results place directly on the grill plate. (If you add aluminium foil around the potatoes they might need a little extra cooking time.)
  • Turn the air fryer to 200ºC / 400°F. Air fry the potatoes for 20 minutes then flip them over and cook for another 20 minutes. Larger potatoes will need a little longer. they should be easy to cut into.
  • Cut a cross into the top of the potatoes. Return them to the air fryer to crisp the skin. Continue air frying for 5 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes and give them a little squeeze (be careful it will be hot) to open up the cut in the top. Add your favourite toppings and enjoy!
