Ingredients
Method
Preheat a 5.3-litre air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes.
Prick potatoes all over with a fork. Taking care, place potatoes in the air fryer basket, then spray with oil and sprinkle with salt flakes; at 200°C, cook for 40 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
Transfer potatoes to plates. Cut a cross in the top of each potato, then squeeze upwards from the bottom to open up. Serve with lashings of butter or with one of the toppers.
NACHOS TOPPERS
Heat a 425g can Mexe Beans in a small saucepan. Top jacket potatoes with 25g corn chips, then the beans; scatter with 1 cup (120g) grated cheddar. Return topped potatoes to the air fryer basket; at 200°C, cook for 2 minutes until cheese melts. To serve, top potatoes with ½ cup (120g) sour cream, 1 fresh sliced jalapeño chilli and ¼ cup coriander leaves. Drizzle with your favourite chilli sauce. Season to taste.
BAKED BARBECUE BEANS TOPPERS
