To start, she took a large white potato and stabbed a sharp knife a few times over the skin – you can also use a fork to do this if you’d prefer. 

She then drizzled olive oil over the skin and sprinkled sea salt on top. 

The potato was then placed in their fryer basket with the temperature set to 190 degrees Celcius.

Nisha left the potato inside the air fryer for 45 minutes – usually, it can take an hour, or an hour and a half to bake a jacket potato in the oven.
