Jacket potatoes, a beloved British classic with many topping choices, are nothing without that essential crunchy skin. While oven-baking for hours can yield mouth-watering results, quickly achieving that same crispiness is often challenging.

Enter the air fryer, a kitchen hero that speeds up the process, and one culinary whizz has shared her top tip for perfect spuds.

Anthea Malialis, famed as 'superhomecook' on Instagram, posted a video showcasing a jacket potato with irresistibly crispy skin and soft interior.She advised: "Do you want to make a jacket potato like this?

Here's how..." Her method doesn't rely on a specific air fryer model or fancy tools but on a simple mix of salt, oil, and tin foil.The Instagram cook continued: "The trick lies in salting the potatoes before air frying, which helps draw out moisture, leading to a drier, fluffier potato encased in a crispier shell."Anthea also highlighted the importance of potato variety, recommending Maris Piper or King Edwards for their floury, starchy qualities that guarantee a fluffy finish.
