If you’d like to speed things up, pierce the potatoes with a sharp knife and cook in the microwave on high power (800W) for 10 minutes, then cook in the air fryer at 200°C for 10 minutes, or until soft, turning halfway if your air fryer has a basket rather than shelves.
*Tested in a 4.2-litre air fryer. All air fryers are different, so results may vary.
