Like to suggest a tweak: Since Air Fryers have such a limited life span, (we’ve owned several) I recommend both from a longevity perspective and a taste perspective to steam the potato first in the Instant Pot, then the second round Air Fryer. The inside will be more moist and the outside crispy.

For those unfamiliar with the life span issue, (excluding the Breville) when you first get an air fryer it takes less temperature and shorter times. As the appliance gets older, you will notice that the temps need to go up to keep the time the same, then later it will also require longer cook times.

We cut our own potatoes into french fries (because Organic French Fries have more oil than potatoes when you combine all the different kinds (3-4 kinds) of oil), so we use the air fryer almost daily. Because of this, we have notice this trend across 3 of the top four brands; The Breville is too new to make that determination.

You certainly can!

These sound delish and I can’t wait to try them. I’ve decided since the potatoes take so long to cook, I can do these in one of two ways. 1. I can precook the potatoes (baking extras) and then do the stuffing on another day. (baked potatoes with dinner tonight ) 2.I can start the potatoes in the microwave and finish baking the potatoes in the airfryer. I can then stuff and finish in the airfryer. Dinner tonight.
I love your books. Clean, simple and tasty meals! I buy cookbooks like others buy novels but I never miss (and I use) one of your books. A joy!!!
