I hope you’ll enjoy these easy Air Fryer Baked Potatoes! What would you like to see me cook in the Air Fryer next?
Thank you SO much for doing this in an air fryer with racks instead of just the basket. Don’t have a scale, but I can tell by the size of potatoes that you presented ~ And I find that the foil idea is better for on the grill. I think that’s where that came from. Because in the oven isn’t great. Soggy skin. Great video. Great instructions. Thank you ~
The air fryer method is elite. Better than an oven baked potato. You can make a microwave baked potato in a hurry, but it won’t be as crispy yet as soft and well cooked as these. And it’s so easy. An hour isn’t a lot if you’re planning to cook, set the potatoes up first!
You can steam the potato in a Ziploc bag in your microwave and then cook it the rest of the way in the air fryer if you’re short on time
That was by far the best instructional demo yet! Thank you, and new sub here because of this, and I can’t wait to view the rest of your content, thank you!
