Russet potatoes (scrubbed and thoroughly dried)
1 Tbsp olive oil or cooking oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt (for rubbing skins)

Filling:
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted or softened
1/3 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
1/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream (add more if needed for smoothness)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
Cooked bacon, or sausage crumbled
Green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions
Prick the scrubbed potatoes all over with a fork 4–5 times. Rub each potato with oil and sprinkle generously with salt.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and bake potatoes for 35–45 minutes (depending on size), flipping halfway through, until a knife glides easily into the center.

Remove potatoes and cool for 5–10 minutes then slice each one lengthwise.

Carefully scoop out the hot potato flesh into a medium mixing bowl, leaving a little rim/shell around the edges so the skin holds its structure.

Add butter, sour cream, milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the scooped potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Fold in 3/4 of the cheddar cheese, and half of the green onions (if using). Then fold in all the cooked bacon, (or sausage).

Spoon or pipe the potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly on top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each potato.

Place stuffed halves back into the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 4–6 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Garnish with remaining green onions (if using).

I don’t know if this is the right place to be putting this but I bought this air fryer from my brother and his girlfriend. There is no temperature dial on it and I can’t seem to find any way to figure out what temp it cooks at.

Please inform me if this is the wrong place to be posting this. Thank you.

I'm about to buy a second hand Air Fryer with a 7 liters/ 2,5 kg capacity for 25€, and before that the only air fryer I had was a 2 liters one (for about 2 weeks, I'm a first time user)

I was wondering if anyone with a large Air fryer has some kind of advice or "stories" of how they were able to cook things you wouldn't normally be able to

I recently went from toaster oven style air fryer (Breville) to a basket style (Cosori), and it’s a huge upgrade. Just cooks better and faster, easier to clean. Anyways two things I’ve been doing that surprise me in how well they turn out and much faster than other methods.

1. “Boiled” eggs. 13 minutes at 300F for hard boiled or close to it, no preheating. This is much faster than other methods (I don’t have induction so I can’t boil a pot of water super fast), and it seems more reliable for me. Soft boiled eggs at 9-10 minutes are fantastic, as well. I’m only doing 2-4 at a time so not sure how it scales.

2. Toast! 3-5 minutes at 400, no preheat. Much better result (even browning) and faster than my admittedly crappy toaster.

Both of these have been big convenience upgrades for me.

Hi, I’m planning on replacing a toaster oven with one of these two, wanted to know how hard it was to clean the heating element at the top for these two specifically as I can see that the basket is fairly easy to clean; any anecdotes or reviews between the two?

Well I had my air fryer for over two years now and I have a habit of cleaning the tray before I even have my meal but never once did it cross my mind to actually take a look inside till it happened inadvertently today.

Update: The air fryer no longer works after cleaning it :)

Hi together, I have a question. I was using a Phillips air fryer 6,2L for five years now. I was using it on my balcony from the beginning sometimes there’s a little bit of rain on it in summer. There’s hot sun on it. It is still working.
Now I bought a new one from ninja dual, it says explicit that it cannot be used outdoor. Have someone use it on the balcony already? Does it work?

I mean even the Phillips air fryer. I should not use some balcony but it worked so I will try to cover it up when it rains or from the sun, but can I still use it outside when it is -10° or 40° outside?

I’ve purchased two ninja air fryers in as many years , both broke down and started emitting burning plastic smells after exactly 15 months. I know we always hear that companies are making products to break but this is just definitive proof that it will last long enough to be out of warranty so you have to shell out another 250. DO NOT purchase Ninja. All that said, anyone really happy with the quality and longevity of their air fryer that isn’t Ninja?

Im the new owner of a ninja French door premier. Where do people store their extra accorded? In the past we have used both our toaster oven and air fryer multiple times a day and since this oven gets very hot, it’s clear I can’t store the sheet pan and basket on top of it.

Also, has anyone dishwasher the basket?

hello, i recently got my air fryer and am shocked by how many things I can make !! I have trouble eating regularly & nutritionally for a few reasons (i like to stick to my few comfort foods, i avoid getting groceries, don’t know how to cook much and am lazy + busy with medical school) but i have a good feeling that with the help of the air fryer I can start to eat actual food and feel good overall. I want to eat my comfort foods (chicken, Mac and cheese, cheese bread, pasta type stuff) but also include more protein and vegetables. Getting groceries today and was wondering if anyone had ideas on what to start with? Or any thoughts in general, I’d love to chat with people who are going through something similar!

I'm looking for an air fryer that is absolutely trivial to clean. Just pop the whole shelf/bowl in to a dish washer, no unscrewing etc.

So far I've only seen the Ninja Crispi and pro, and a few very similar ones from other known and less known brands that are this easy to clean, but I would ideally like a tower air fryer(I'm open to other styles tho). There are just many things that seem like a hassle with the Crispi style Air fryers, like lifting the whole heavy top to mix the food, having a safe space to put the hot top on the side etc. Plus I would sometimes have to run it twice when cooking something without meat for myself, and with meat for my partner.

I want maximum convenience, no hassle or stress.

UK. Price doesn't matter, as it will be mine and partner's joint gift to ourselves for Christmas.

So quite new to air frying

My family is an Asian House hold that just bought this because we didn't want to get a microwave

So anyone got any cleaning and adjustment tips?

Has anyone tried this air fryer? It looks to be good, but I did find it from an instagram ad and i’m always wary of those

Hey guys! Long story short, I’m in a depressive episode right now, which also means I either don’t eat or eat like shit.

But! I do have a Ninja Double Stack XL Airfryer. So with two baskets (or four layers if I count the thin grates you can put in), I was hoping for some inspiration of meals where I can literally just dump the food in there and let the air fryer work its magic. I have a dishwasher where both baskets fit in, so clean up will be easy. I’d like to avoid using the stove, as this leads to just more stuff I currently don’t have the energy to clean up :(

What are your go to recipes for times like these? Anything helps!

never used my ninja for dehydrating....how long does it take to make dehydrated apple slices, and what temp?

I found them both on sale for 60 dollars. Which should I go for?

I have a Breville airfryer - the one that looks like a toaster oven. Wondering if there is anything - a product or just a tip - for grease protection?

I cook frozen burgers in the airfryer and sometimes steak and the grease splatter is crazy and gets all over the heating elements. I have been trying to research products to remedy this, but I can’t find anything for the Breville.

I’m imagining one of those microwave covers to reduce splatter but for the air fryer. Does this exist?

It measures about 9.25 x 9.25 inches. It's gotten very dirty and I am not able to get the grease off it. Tried one last time and scratched it up pretty badly. Every replacement part I've seen online is for just about ever other air fryer made under this brand, EXCEPT this one.

Around 100€ and 2/3 people in EU, do you recommend Moulinex Easy Fry Infrared or Cecotec Cecofry DuoLevel. In this prince range are there better air fryer?

I cannot cook with oil and I always struggle to air fry veggies etc so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips/recipes (no butter as well)

These turned out really good.

Let’s poke the bear a little!

Hey everyone,

So, I just got my Philips air fryer today, and it came via Flipkart's open box delivery. Everything else seems good, and the heating element is totally new. But, when I unboxed it all, I noticed a couple of really tiny scratches right on the edge of the crisper/frying tray. You can see a bit of the raw aluminum there.

The non-stick stuff around those spots feels solid, no flaking or peeling anywhere.

My main question is this: Is it okay to cook with it as it is, or are these small scratches going to get worse over time and end up in my food? Should I try to get a new part, or maybe push for a whole exchange?
