Air Fryer Baked Potato
Air fryer baked potatoes cook in roughly half the time of oven baked potatoes. Making a baked potato in an air fryer is quick, easy, and yields a crispy skin with a fluffy interior. Starchy potatoes like Russet are best for baking because the high starch content means they cook in their own moisture and become soft and fluffy inside. King Edward or Desiree potatoes also have a lot of starch so bake well. Baked potatoes make the perfect week night side dish for a steak or chicken. Or serve them on their own for a filling lunch, loaded with your favourite toppings.

Air Fryer Sweet Potato & Butternut Soup
Sweet potatoes and butternut are popular seasonal vegetables in the colder months, and combine perfectly to make this hearty soup. This soup would usually take an hour to make using a hob but it can now be ready in half that time thanks to the speedy air fryer. And the intense heat of the air fryer quickly caramelises the roasted vegetables giving this soup a delicious deep flavour.
