It’s 4am n I woke up in the middle of the night n my first thought was “can I make a baked potato in the air fryer”. Thank you for answering that and showing me the way. I know what I’m making for lunch
I have found that the following process allows more moisture to escape from the jackets and I get even better results than I do when I oil them from the beginning. Salting is key for the crispiest results! Use more salt than you would normally, and knock some off when they're done, before serving if desired,....although I never do. (I use Diamond Kosher which has less sodium than other brands and they are seasoned perfectly) 1. Poke them all the way around the potato 2. Put them in the air fryer and set the time for 45 minutes 3. Remove them at 25 minutes 4. Let them cool off for 10 or 15 minutes 5. Rub them with oil and salt them heavily with Kosher salt. (the oil helps the salt stick and the salt will make the jackets crispier) 6. Place them back in the air fryer for the remaining time 7. Insert a sharp knife to ensure they're done and if it doesn't slide in easily, add more time Fluffy, crispy, delicious results! Try it! You can tap on the jacket but it's not too tough to eat.
I love watching your presentations and enjoy the simplicity. I bought an air fryer 6 months ago and don't know how I ever got along without it. I consult your channel before I cook anything and your directions are spot on. Thank you and keep the tips coming!
Great video! Straight to the point! I love your end results. This will most definitely be the ONLY way I make baked potatoes from now in! Thanks for the tut!
came on UA-cam to look for how to make a baked potato in an air fryer yours was the first video I watched it and I like it so we're having some baked potato tonight in our air fryer thank you so much🎉
@@traceylane6631 I make them in a microwave when short on time, and you are right, they taste more like boiled. Air fryer ones are way better, their texture is like perfect baked potatoes!
Looks great but if your short on time, you can still get that real oven baked taste. I've done two potatoes in microwave for 5 minutes then oil, rock salt and air fry for ten minutes..... Amazing crispy skins and far better than just microwaved.
Wow I'm going to do it tonight. I just need to go on the easy air fryer cooking since I'm disabled, only one hand. This video helps me. Thank you very much for sharing. God bless you 🙏✨
Tried this in my Oven Air Fryer with two large potatoes...Set mine on "Chicken" at 400 degrees for 45 mins (middle rack)...Didn't poke them with a fork tho...Turned out perfect. 😍😋
Totally just had one and it was life changing. I fluffed my potatoes up with cream cheese and mozzarella cheese and it was incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Very good video production. No loud, distraction "cute" music or obnoxious intros, camera focuses where it needs to when it needs to - well done! Off to bake some potatoes in my unit.
@@MelanieCooksRecipes 2 things you did wrong is, 1. Too much oil and you are putting the oil on the potatoes over the air fryer, all you need is 1 small tea spoonful , 2. You need to put the fork spikes fully through, it will save you money and give you a better baked potato.
Thanks Melanie!! I looooovvveee baked potatoes and my stankin ass oven has been going out for a whole week! You came thru clutch period with this tutorial 💪🏾
Got some in the air fryer right now, but rubbed garlic paste all over them before the oil and then sprinkled with kosher salt. Can't wait to try these with the ribeyes I'm grilling.
Consign your microwave to the bin now you have an Air Fryer. The radiation from a microwave destroys most of the nutrients in food cooked in it and radiation, of course, is no good for Humans.
Thanks for the air fryer videos it really helps me out a lot because I can't cook on the stove only if the stove was electric I would use it but thanks ✌🏼👍🏼
A few suggestions : use a oil sprayer before placing in air fryer. Preheat the airfryer for 5 minutes, after you spray the potatoes use kocher salt all over the potato (s) it will help remove moisture. If you like potato skins, cook at 450 for 30 minutes then flip the potatoes over and cook for another 20 minutes. Inside the potatoes are like mashed potatoes and outside is a large potato skin. Use this technique for twice baked potatoes. Just scoop the inside out, mix with butter or cheese or both. Fill the halved potatoes and place back in the airfryer for 10-15 minutes on high.
Thank you just what I was looking for again made it much easier on doing baked potatoes I got tired doing the oven and the microwave ones thank you so much
I stopped using the oven or the stove top burners , my question is how do you do spaghetti noodles got any way of making those cuz I'm tired of boiling water on the stove

Bruhhhh me rn
Omg how you know😂😂
Can you bake without oil?
I love the no nonsense approach. You just start and cook great recipes without any fuss. Thank You!
You are very welcome!
Save money Heat up potatoes in microwave full power for 10 minutes ( I
do six at a time), finish off in air fryer of halogen oven
@@DrMontague That's what I do, saves time and still comes out crispy.
Nice to watch this video. And delicious food

Sounds really good but sadly I am allergic to salt
@@GranmaShell wow what do you eat ?? Sodium is in everything including water
@@miapia29 Most salt is bad for you, use "Real Salt" ... it has none of the bad stuff in it. A salt that is good for you.
@@GranmaShell Salt is essential for life. Nobody is allergic to sodium. Get a better doctor.

Forget these instructions.... MICROWAVE for 4-5 min , then spray lightly with oil, sprinkle with salt and AIR FRY for 10 min. PERFECT results !
Thanks for the tip!
That is how I do mine. As you say, perfect results.
Exactly
Consign your microwave to the bin now you have an Air Fryer. The radiation from a microwave destroys most of the nutrients in food cooked in it and radiation, of course, is no good for Humans.
