Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes (Maris Piper or King Edward work well)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- Optional toppings: butter, grated cheese, baked beans, tuna mayo, sour cream, chives
Method
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each one several times with a fork.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle generously with sea salt for extra-crispy skin. (This is optional, but I like to wrap each potato in tinfoil at this stage to make the air fryer baked potatoes nice and fluffy).
- Place directly into the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C for 50 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on potato size—check they’re soft in the middle with a sharp knife. If using tinfoil, remove the potatoes after 50 minutes, take off the foil, and return to the air fryer for a further 10 minutes to crisp up the skin.
- When ready, cut open, fluff the inside with a fork and add plenty of butter. You can also add your favourite toppings for the ultimate easy lunch.
