I have always had this question. My husband insists oven baked is the way to go. But I have never baked them in the air fryer - very interested to try it! Thanks for the info!

Great advice. My microwave has a baked potato setting and it works great

I had Air fryer backed potato for dinner yesterday. The medium sized potato came out great with 60 mins at 320F in a Cosori Dual Blaze.

Better yet. I cook my potatoes in the microwave without the bad results you got.
In a casserole dish with glass lid, i put in the potatoes with a slit in them the long ways with 3/4 inches of wter. Cook on high for 13 minutes and they come out perfect. Depending on how many potatoes, you'll figure out to use either more or less time. Thank you for your wonderful channel 👍

I always do jacket potato like this, 4 minutes in the microwave, and don't forget to fork or prick it then put it in the air fryer 10 minutes each side but it does depend on the size of the potato.

I combine 2 methods: pressure cook for 10 minutes, then air fry for 15-20 minutes. Faster than the over alone.

I do the microwave, but because of the shriveling-up factor, I knife-pierce it, then put it in a single serve gratin baking dish with about 1/4 inch of water in the bottom. Press the "Baked Potato" setting, and when that's done, flip it over and run "Baked Potato" again. It's not as good as oven-baked, but it doesn't dry out and turn to shoe leather. For oven-baking, I put in metal potato nails to conduct heat to the center of the potato more quickly and reduce baking time.

If you do 2 potatoes wonder if we need to add more time? You might know. Thanks

Wish I saw this before oven baking, I'll try air fryer next time!

Easy as 1 2 3 and forget the microwave

I microwave reg pots and sweet pots, but unlike your method, they are placed loosely in plastic grocery bag, tuck ends, and about 7 mins. Be careful unwinding bag as steam is within. I will try the air fryer next. Thanks
