Prick all over with a fork/skewer, 5 mins in Microwave, rub with oil and salt, finish in air-fryer (12-15 mins in my Ninja Foodi-depending on size). Same result.
Thank you for posting your comment. I followed the video's instructions and I still had to put them in a microwaveable bowl (with some water) and nuke them for six minutes to finish the job. The next time, I followed your advice, and only needed to add two minutes to your recommended airfry time.
Thanks: the baked potatoes look great! I'd suggest a combi approach to cooking these as an hour baking at 200C is less energy efficient than a few minutes in a micro wave before transferring to the air fryer for only 20 to 30 minutes on pre-heated 200C. Only an air fryer or traditional oven will make a fluffy potatoe with crisp skin, but tge micro wave is very energy efficient even at 800 - 900 watts.
Jennifer, never in my 30+ years of cooking a potato without poking it has it ever exploded so this is new to me! Lol well I guess you learn something new and I'd say in my opinion it's still done for an even cook! 😉😁🙌
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes In my 30+ years of cooking, i've never NOT poked them, so now i am questioning if it really matters! LOL - Just what i was taught at home and in the restaurant biz...
I did 3 potatoes a while back and forgot to prick one of them. I’m still scraping bits of potato off the oven walls, trays and shelves! Resulted in2 lovely potatoes and 1 empty exploded skin 😂
@@tjpea7916 I'm not crazy!! huzzah! but sad to hear about the lost tattie! I recently gave it a go without pricking them, and all ended well...but i'm going to not be so brave in the future cause i fear cleaning more than a lost potato.
Wow, 1 hour!! That was me thinking I'd save money on my electricity bill using an air fryer but 1hr is like the same as the oven :( Anyway first time so going to give it a try,thank you for your video! :)
Wow that looks great. I am sitting here watching TV and looking at this you’ve just put up I cannot resist it. I am going to make one myself. Thanks for the video.😊🇬🇧😊👍
Great idea, I am new to your channel and can't wait to see and learn more recipes. I love Indian and Mexican food and Iooking for ideas and recipes to make. Thank you!
Instead of pricking the Potato with a fork, I mark a cross on the flatter side. Just enough so that it aids the cooking, not too much that the potato is quartered. But putting olive oil on (before adding a pinch of salt) instead of butter is a great idea. Will try it!
I found your channel while in the hospital. your channel is amazing. I especially enjoyed the vegetarian cooking and the rice meals. once again thank you for having an amazing channel
Was it that length of time because there were 3 potatoes in there? Surely it doesn't really take that long in an air fryer i thought it took that long in a normal oven.
John, the pre heat function works just like a conventional oven. So rather than putting food straight into a cold oven or basket In the airfryers case, it's brought up to the correct cooking temperature. Hope that helps.
Thanks for that. I've got all sorts of kitchen gadgets incuding an excelent combination microwave. I'm not sure whether I want one. Would do you cook a whole chicken in it? I'm just thinking because of the size and the mess that it would make and the cleanup.
Thanks for watching Dennis. I used to use my combi microwave for potatoes too but ever since this Airfryer arrived we have been using it all the time. Yes you can roast a whole chicken (1.7/1.8kg) and it cooks it perfectly. If you're happy with what you've got then great! Otherwise I do highly recommend an Airfryer. 😊
Thanks for sharing. I know you can cook them in the microwave, but I like them crispy too. I shall be using your hack next time I have baked spuds. Thanks again🫶🏽
you need 45 to 1 hour to get the skins crispy, yes you can mirco wave and cook them for 15-20 min air fryer but your not getting the same crisp, low energy prices i do 1 hour, when prices rise i do mirco and 15 min
Eeek! One hour! I'm new to air fryer cooking but thanks will stick to my old fashioned way of 7 minutes in microwave and 30 minutes in a hot traditional oven. 😊
I've not tried to be honest as we normally cook for four. It will depend on the size, I would cook for around 30-40 minutes and check with a fork or knife to see how they are.
Hi. Just found you're channel and watched this video to guide me as Im going to be doing a baked potatoe in mine. Im impressed! Good video youve done there. I'll like and subscrbe to you. Cheers 👍.
I never do mine for that long, usually half an hour and then check to see if they need longer, and the electric used is a lot less than conventional oven
Wonderful to hear that. You do what works for you David but the Airfyers are more energy efficient than commercial ovens. My potatoes never cook in 30mins unless they're a wee little ones. The ones I used in the video demonstration were very large baking potatoes, hence why they took an hour to cook.
A lot of faffing about just give them about 10/12 minutes in microwave on high, then 15 minutes in air fryer at 200 perfect spuds with great edible skins.
that seems an incredibly long time to do, it's the same time, if not longer, than in a gas oven...and, the gas oven would be cheaper to run. Wouldn't it be better to do the potatoes in a microwave for about 12 mins, then perhaps they'll cook in less than half an hour in the air fryer?
I always microwave my potatoes first so they are soft I put in the airfryer for 5 minutes each side no oil or salt they come out perfectly cooked I put them in a bowl rough mash adding extra virgin olive oil and grated cheese and black pepper. Taste yummy and uses much less energy.
Instead of pricking with a fork I run a knife around the circumference of the patio. Don't cut to deep, 2 to 3 mm will do. Like pricking, it stops the potato exploding during cooking but also allows you to break the potato in half when cooked. Another tip is to cook them in the microwave before putting them in the air fryer. Reduces cooking time and is a little bit cheaper on energy.

Americans don't poke there potatoes with a folk first before putting them in the oven,,, but you did, so you know what your doing lol... My question was the heating, 180 or 200... you answered that lol
There’s a quicker way. Same prep..... Then Microwave 7/8 mins. @ 700 power. Then, 15mins at 200c in the airfryer turning half way thru. Or, cook until brown and crispy.
Microwaves are cheaper than airfryers I cook mines in the microwave for 5 minutes then finish them up in the airfryer an hour is way too long
Prick all over with a fork/skewer, 5 mins in Microwave, rub with oil and salt, finish in air-fryer (12-15 mins in my Ninja Foodi-depending on size). Same result.

I have acquired a Ninja air fryer and your recipe sounds like the way forward for baked potatoes,
Well said 👏
Same here, job done.
It’s not the same in a microwave!!
I start mine in the microwave as its more economical in energy and cost and then 15 minutes in the AirFryer to crisper the skin
one hour in the air fryer is excessive - micro wave till soft then crisp up 15 - 20 mins
@@myhatmyseat9924 how many minutes would you recommend in an 800 watt microwave
@@alienc That would probably depend on the size of the potatoes.
@@myhatmyseat9924 Sounds excessive, and expensive, to me. Your suggestion is a good one though.
One hour is over the top. Might as well use the main oven and then you can cook other things at the same time.

Bang on guite right
in these pricy fuel days.
the reason you poke the potatoes is not for even cooking, its to release pressure so they don't explode...like a sausage. :)

1 hour...I put my pots in microwave 10 minutes then max crisp for about 10 min and lush!
Exactly, waste of time and power.
Good for you! 👍
Can u elaborate? So u put it in the microwave for 10 mins and then you put in the air fryer on max for 10 mins? What setting on da microwave?
1 hour in an air fryer?
I think that is a bit ridiculous too. 10 mins in the microwave, 10 mins in the airfryer to crisp. Been doing this for years

Cook for 6 mins in microwave first then they only need 20 mins in air fryer
400 degrees Fahrenheit for those in the US

Oil on a baked potato never just in the oven and takes no longer and crispier skins without the oil so healthier too,

Seriously?! I love mine and use it multiple times daily 😊
So it’s still much faster to do the in a microwave 15 mins max.
Oh yeah, of course but the skin doesn't crisp up like it does in an airfryer or oven.
No they don’t look fluffy
Okay thanks!
you need 45 to 1 hour to get the skins crispy, yes you can mirco wave and cook them for 15-20 min air fryer but your not getting the same crisp, low energy prices i do 1 hour, when prices rise i do mirco and 15 min

Sounds lovely. Hope you enjoyed them!
Why would you pre heat air fryer
Because its the same concept as an oven. So it's at correct cooking temperature for when you food is added so it can start cooking.
Baked Potato was the very first thing I tried and I followed your instructions and it was YUMMY! Thank you!

I tried this and my one baking potato did not cook at 200 degrees. It took 2 hrs at 200 degrees in my air fryer.
I'm guessing you had it set to 200 F. She said set it to 200 C, which is 392 F. You were cooking at half the proper temperature.
😮😮😮 Silly me😮😮 I thought it was 4 minutes 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
