Air fryer Baked Potatoes are so easy to make, the I wished found out when I got an air fryer a while back. All you need is a potato, olive oil, seasoning, & foil to make. The only downside, it takes almost an hour to make in the air fryer

    You can cut the time in half if you use a microwave first. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and place in a silicone tray then microwave on full for 5-15 minutes depending on size (check that it’s soft inside with a knife.) Cover in oil and seasoning then air fry on full for about 15 minutes. The silicone tray allows you to transfer from the microwave to the airfryer with minimum mess and fuss (so not essential.)

    For me though, it’s homemade pittas. So much better than the flat discs of carboard they sell in the supermarkets. Takes a bit of time for proving, but I like to make a large batch and freeze a bunch, or keep some dough in the fridge and have a second meal with them later in the week.

    Edit: Microwave cooking times for potatoes were a bit off

      Maybe I just have a more powerful microwave but in mine I can fully bake a single potato in 5 minutes.

        I probably overstated the cooking time - a regular powered microwave can cook a small baking potato in as little as 5 minutes. If yours is cooking larger potatoes in that time though then it is likely to be significantly more powerful than most domestic microwaves.
