Airfryer Potatoes: the Perfect Jacket

Dinner time and I thought I haven't yet tried to cook jacket potatoes in the airfryer. Very pleased with the results! I won't wait years before cooking jacket potatoes as using an airfryer is a cinch, compared to what felt like hours cooking in the oven.
As usual the cost breakdown is at the end of the vlog, this is the cost of buying the ingredients not including energy costs - thats really difficult to work out. However, what we do know is that Airfryers and microwaves are cheaper than using the oven, so there must be some savings there.
Hope you enjoy....

Had my Ninja air fryer two weeks and I am becoming a domestic Goddess at the age of 75. I was like, don't cook, wont cook, never want to cook,, but have a man who can 😂 Seems since Ninja arrived I love cooking. 😂Thanks for the tips and help. X

Oh that's fab, congrats on getting your ninja, airfryers are fab aren't they... love mine💕

[@46joe]

Jacket potatoes are good and filling, I do the same as you, start in microwave and crisp up in my halogen air fryer. I put loads of butter on mine top with loads of cheese and then grill till cheese is melted. Not the most healthiest of things ,and I also tend to make far to many , but they are so delicious...! 😂 I like mine with coleslaw (full fat of course) 🤣

[@glendaratcliffe6638]

I do myself a jacket potato with most dinners, I love them, I'm the only one in my family that eats them! I do like a pound of butter and cheese with them though lol, and a fresh salad and coleslaw ... delightful ... I wish I had an airfryer though because it takes so long to crisp them in the oven xxx

[@budgetcookinguk]

As I kid, I had spuds every other day (it seemed like that lol) so sort of stopped eating them as an adult. Air fried jackets a revelation, will definitely be cooking jackets more often😋I'm with you Glenda, lots of butter and cheeeeese

I love how the jacket potatoes come out of the air fryer,depending on the size of the potato I normally cook for about 45 mins to an hour at 200c turning half way,I like the skins nice and crispy,I don't microwave first,after 45 minutes I check the internal temp of the potato with an instant read thermometer which I do for most of my cooking and if it's above 100c I know it's nicely cooked,another good video,just trying to catch up on your back catalogue and enjoying your easy to follow and down to earth cooking

[@budgetcookinguk]

It's funny you say that about cous cous, the packet has been in my cupboard for a loooonnng time, but all it is is equal parts cous cous to water and put on hob for a few minutes. Add flavour after. So easy I couldn't believe it. Lemon and cous cous the best Jane 🍋💕

[@tonyjennison3199]

You're supposed to slow cook them in an oven so 2 hours to dehydrate and crisp up in an oven. Done these in an air fryer they are great. Compliments to the chef there's nothing wrong with that. Cheap, good food.

Hi just to let you know that when you extend the time on your ninja when you press the number draw and adjust time if you press the same number draw after you alter the time u don't need to turn the power off and then back on again it will just continue to cook with the new time! 👍 Another yummy meal 😋

[@budgetcookinguk]

Ahhh fab thanks for that Leon👌

[@ET-ri6bg]

Hi Kerry I cook jacket potatoes first in the microwave and then crisp in my Halogen oven, as there is a lot more room than the air fryer. Will put oil on the skins next time , like yours. I tried adding onions to some frozen chips in my air fryer but the onions dried out, will add them later next time. I agree sausages cook perfectly in an air fryer will add some peppers & onions for about the last 5 mins in future then i wont have to chop the sausages. I have a meat thermometer to check the sausages are cooked, couldn't believe how quick they cooked. in an air fryer. Thanks for the video and some good cooking tips, Best Wishes Eileen x

Aww thank you v much Eileen💕it's so true, when I first started using the Airfryer the speed it cooked foods kept catching me out lol.

Lovely dinner Kerry. I was wondering how to do jacket potato in the ninja. I wasn’t sure whether to start them off in the microwave first so your video came just in time. Your Cous Cous looked good too. I usually buy the ready flavoured packets as I never thought to buy the plain one and add my own flavours. Thanks for another great video and well done reaching nearly 4K subscribers xx💕

We have jacket potatoes quite often now I have an airfryer, it used to take so much time and fuel in the oven. You can put just about anything on them and it works.
