Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thoroughly washing the jacket potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Prick each potato four times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  2. Microwave on high for about 8 minutes for one potato, or adjust time accordingly—add 2–4 minutes for each additional potato. Turn them halfway through.
  3. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of your chosen oil over the skins, and use your hands to coat them evenly. Sprinkle with salt.
  4. Transfer your seasoned potatoes to the preheated air fryer at 200°C (400°F). Cook for 8–10 minutes, checking for crispiness.
  5. For air fryer only method, place pricked potatoes directly in the basket and cook for approximately 45 minutes, turning halfway.
  6. Insert a sharp knife into the thickest part. If it slides in effortlessly, they’re ready to be enjoyed!
