Potato cooks in an air fryer at 200°C (390°F) for 25~35 min. Preheat first, and flip once halfway. A skewer reaches the centre easily
Prick a whole potato in a few places so the steam inside can escape — without it the skin splits, and occasionally bursts. For a crisp jacket, rub the outside with oil and salt before it goes in.
For a medium whole potato. Baby potatoes take 18-20 minutes, halves about twenty.

What usually goes wrong
- Not pricking the skin — it splits
- Mixing sizes in one batch — uneven results
- Under twenty minutes — hard centre
