Baked Potatoes in Ninja Foodi
These baked potatoes are REALLY easy.
First, stab baked potatoes with fork all over potato. This helps for the steam to release.
Add olive oil to skin, making sure there is oil on all of the potato skin. You can do this by placing potatoes in a bowl and pouring oil over them, basting with a basting brush, or simply using your hands.
Place potatoes in air fryer basket and place into silver ceramic inner pot of Ninja Foodi.
Season well with sea salt.
Close Air Crisp lid.
Set Air Fryer on 400 degrees for 40 minutes.
Note that depending on the size of your potato, you may only need 35 minutes.
The great thing about the Air Crisp lid is you an simply check at the 35 min mark and close back up.
Potatoes are done with a knife slides through easily and skins are crispy.

Richard Gibb says
Skin perfect , inside was solid . Trying to sofren in microwave.
Waste of 40 mins
Trisha says
Richard, it def should not have been solid at all after 40 minutes. In fact, it should have worked the same as an oven on 400. I would love to troubleshoot your issues – how big was the potato? Perhaps it needed more time? Or maybe there were not enough vent holes (fork holes or knife holes allowing steam to escape and heat to get inside). Potatoes are not all the same so my guess is that your potato might have been much larger than the ones I have shown. I am not sure how it would be completely solid.
