Hi Donella – the steam inside the potato needs to escape and the skin bursts to let the steam escape if the holes aren’t big or deep enough. I’m not sure if the skewers would affect that. Hopefully, they were still delicious after air frying.

Thanks for the instructions. I usually just airfry my jacket potatoes for about 45 minutes, but thought I’d give this method a go in my ninja foodi. I followed your instructions apart from spearing right through the middle of each potato with a skewer as well as stabbing all over with a fork. Pressure cooked for 20mins slow release for 10 and they have split really badly. I’ve yet to finish them off in the air fryer but wondered what I’d done wrong? Skewering them?
Thank you.

L- I commented earlier and I just finished dinner. I followed your recipe to a T and my 5 yr old IP did not disappoint. 5# bag of medium potatoes, 6 or 7 spuds, you know the size where you want 2 🥔 🥔 🤗 I was so brief, I lifted the hot ones out with IP PC rack, drained the water, put them on rack back in. I aimed & poured OO & sea salt on top, not rubbing or turning. Guess what? The best baked ever ever ever! I took them out to cool and did crispy chicken & onion rings. Yum ❤️

Hi Linda,
Great recipe. For cooks with undone, it is sad but true, there is not a lifetime warranty on IP (I thought there was). I searched on line and 1+ years depending on use. The heating element on the bottom goes first. I always make sure I have a good contact when pressure cooking. I clean my silicon every time and as it’s coming to pressure, I apply a little help pressing on lid gently or open/close will jump start it. Until our IP stops working 100%, I add more minutes. If it was real bad… I have to buy a new one, boo-hoo 🙂

In reply to Jh. The size of the potatoes will determine the cook time. How big were your potatoes?

Cooked two potatoes on high pressure for 22 minutes and not even close to being done. Had to cook for an additional 10 minutes and probably will do a total of 34 minutes next time. Not sure how you cooked 6 potatoes for 22 minutes. I followed your instructions exactly.

In reply to Donna. Hi Donna - I haven't tried it, but that should work as well.

In reply to Linda. Hi Linda - yes, it's a great way to finish them. I give the directions on how to finish them in the air fryer at the bottom of the recipe card.
