Make the PERFECT jacket potato the easy way! Follow my tips for the best baked potatoes with crispy skin and fluffy creamy middles, no oven needed. Use floury potatoes such as Maris Piper, Yukon Gold etc.These fajitas are packed full of vegetables. You can also add chicken or lean beef.
Rinse the potatoes, prick the skin a few times and wrap them in a paper towel. Place the potatoes on a microwave safe bowl and cover with a moistened paper towel.
Microwave for 6-8 minutes, flipping them over midway. The cooking time will depend on how large your potatoes are and the wattage of your appliance. Cook them until you can easily pierce them all the way through with a knife.
Discard the paper towel.Place the potatoes in a preheated airfryer and cook for a further 5-8 minutes, until the skin gets perfectly crispy and golden.
Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes
Rinse the potatoes, dry them and prick the skin a few times. Brush with olive oil and season with salt.
Wrap in foil and bake for 5-6 hours on the LOW setting, flipping them over halfway through. Cook them until you can easily pierce them all the way through with a knife.
Vegan Fajitas
Simply slice all the vegetables into strips and add to a bowl together with the beans. Add the seasonings, liquid smoke, olive oil and toss together.
Spread onto a sheet pan and cook for 20 minutes in a 200C (395F or gas mark 6) preheated oven, giving them a stir halfway through.
Increase the heat to 220C (428F or gas mark 7) and cook for a further 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly caramelised. Taste and season if needed.
