[@daveboy1247]

@@MelanieCooksRecipes 2 things you did wrong is, 1. Too much oil and you are putting the oil on the potatoes over the air fryer, all you need is 1 small tea spoonful , 2. You need to put the fork spikes fully through, it will save you money and give you a better baked potato.

[@BarbaraC147]

I know just what you mean. Music in hiw- to videos jusu annoys me. I want to focus on what is being said.

[@missmonasuzette]

I have found that the following process allows more moisture to escape from the jackets and I get even better results than I do when I oil them from the beginning. Salting is key for the crispiest results! Use more salt than you would normally, and knock some off when they're done, before serving if desired,....although I never do. (I use Diamond Kosher which has less sodium than other brands and they are seasoned perfectly) 1. Poke them all the way around the potato 2. Put them in the air fryer and set the time for 45 minutes 3. Remove them at 25 minutes 4. Let them cool off for 10 or 15 minutes 5. Rub them with oil and salt them heavily with Kosher salt. (the oil helps the salt stick and the salt will make the jackets crispier) 6. Place them back in the air fryer for the remaining time 7. Insert a sharp knife to ensure they're done and if it doesn't slide in easily, add more time Fluffy, crispy, delicious results! Try it! You can tap on the jacket but it's not too tough to eat.

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

Thanks for the tips! 😋👍
