Ingredients

  • 1 baking potato
  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Pinch salt
  • Toppings of choice

Instructions

  • Begin by poking some holes in the potato with a fork or skewer, then rub the olive oil onto the potato and sprinkle over the salt.
  • Place into an air fryer basket at 200c for 45-55 minutes (slightly dependent on the air fryer and size of potato). Turn over halfway through to ensure an even crisp on the skin.
  • Poke a skewer through the potato to check it is soft throughout. Cut open and serve with toppings of choice.

Microwave Instructions

  • Should you wish, you can microwave for 8 minutes before putting in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer, oven, or in the microwave.
To Freeze: Freeze for up to three months in an airtight container. Reheat in the air fryer for 15 or so minutes, until heated through.
Tip 1: Should you wish, you can microwave for 8 minutes before putting it in the air fryer to save some time. You will only need to cook it for 20-25 minutes in the air fryer after this.
Tip 2: Make sure to check the doneness of the potato before cutting it open to enjoy. A jacket potato in Ninja Air Fryer may come out different from one in another brand. The size and type of the air fryer matters, as well as the size of the potato.
Tip 3: Don’t stop with just this recipe! Make my Mixed Bean Salad, Vegan Meatballs, or Sausage Casserole to go along with these delicious potatoes!
