Air Fryer Jacket Potatoes

Title: Air Fryer Jacket Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized baking potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Toppings of your choice: butter, sour cream, grated cheese, chopped chives, bacon bits, etc.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes:
   • Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry with a paper towel.
3. Coat with Olive Oil:
   • Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated. This helps the skin become crispy during the air frying process.
4. Season with Salt:
   • Sprinkle each potato with salt to taste. The salt enhances the flavor of the potato skin.
5. Pierce Potatoes:
   • Use a fork to pierce each potato a few times. This allows steam to escape during cooking and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
6. Air Fry:
   • Place the prepared potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 35-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. The exact time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes and the air fryer model.
7. Check for Doneness:
   • Check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center. They should be tender inside.
8. Serve and Add Toppings:
   • Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the air fryer. Cut a slit across the top of each potato, and fluff the insides with a fork. Add your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, grated cheese, chopped chives, or bacon bits.
9. Enjoy:
   • Serve the air fryer jacket potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or a light meal.
