Air Fryer Jacket Potato
Description
Air Fryer Jacket Potato involves washing and drying medium-sized potatoes, then poking holes in their skins to prevent bursting during cooking. The potatoes are rubbed with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, then placed spaced apart in the air fryer basket. Cooking at 200°C (400°F) for about 40 minutes, turning halfway through, results in crispy skins and fluffy interiors.
The air fryer provides a concentrated heat environment that crisps the skin while roasting the inside potato flesh evenly. Pricking the potatoes avoids pressure buildup inside the potato. The turning step promotes uniform browning.
This recipe suits anyone wanting baked potatoes with less oven use and faster cooking. The jacket potatoes can be split open and served with toppings or as a side. Adjusting cooking time and checking progress after 25 minutes is recommended due to variation among air fryers.
Optional methods include microwaving first to reduce air fryer time or wrapping potatoes in foil for softer skins. The instructions include tips for cutting the cooked potatoes to open them for serving.
Ingredients
- 700 g potato approx 350g/12oz per potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt

Notes
- Dry potatoes thoroughly after washing to ensure better crisping.
- Space potatoes apart in the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation and crisp skin.
- Pricking potatoes with a fork prevents bursting inside the air fryer.
- For faster cooking, microwave potatoes first, then finish in the air fryer for a crispy skin.

- Check potatoes after 25 minutes, as cooking times vary between air fryer models.
