About the recipe
Save time and energy by cooking a jacket potato in the air fryer, then load it up with your favourite toppings. We've gone for homemade baked beans & cheese (see tip), but feel free to make it your own!
Ingredients
2 baking potatoes (250g)
olive oil
Top Tip
If you’d like to speed things up, pierce the potatoes with a sharp knife and cook in the microwave on high power (800W) for 10 minutes, then cook in the air fryer at 200°C for 10 minutes, or until soft, turning halfway if your air fryer has a basket rather than shelves.
Method
- Use a sharp knife to prick the potatoes a few times, then rub each potato with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a small pinch of sea salt.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer* in a single layer and cook at 180°C for 40 minutes or until soft, turning halfway if your air fryer has a basket rather than shelves.
- Serve with your favourite toppings – see our inspo below!
*Tested in a 4.2-litre air fryer. All air fryers are different, so results may vary.
Grate up a colourful mix of red cabbage, carrot, apple, red onion and gherkins and dress with a splash of the gherkin juice, extra virgin olive oil and your choice of soft herbs, then use it to top your potato. Crumble over feta cheese and sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts for extra crunch.
Roughly chop smoked streaky bacon and fry off with thinly sliced red onion and a handful of fresh thyme sprigs. Stir through a handful of baby spinach leaves, then pile into your potato with a spoonful of natural yoghurt.
Upgrade your classic tuna mayo by stirring through a handful of quartered cherry tomatoes and finely sliced spring onion, pile into your potato and finish with a handful of rocket.
