Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer We used a Ninja Foodi Pro Cooker
  • 1 Silicone Tongs or similar for use with the Air Fryer
  • 1 Microwave To cook the inside of the potato
  • 1 Sheet if Kitchen Paper Also known as kitchen roll

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Baked Potato Large or medium in size
  • 5 sprays Spray oil Sunflower or vegetable works best
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Clean the baked potato and prick with a fork or knife in a couple of places
  • Wrap the potato in kitchen paper and place in the microwave
  • Microwave on full power for roughly 10 minutes (this cooks the inside of the potato and ensure a soft fluffy potato)
  • Once the potato has cooked in the microwave take it out, spray the oil all over the potato and season with salt and pepper
  • Place the potato into the air fryer and cook on full power for up to 20 minutes. Check on the potato at 10 and 15 minutes to turn it and see if it has crisped up enough. Once it has then remove and enjoy with your favourite filling.
