Can I start my potato in the microwave to save time?
Absolutely! I do this often! Follow my directions for a u003ca href=u0022https://thenovicechefblog.com/microwave-baked-potato/u0022u003eMicrowave Baked Potatou003c/au003e and cook it 1 minute less than called for in the recipe. After cooking the potato in the microwave, transfer it to the air fryer to finish cooking, about 10 minutes of cooking time (until the center is cooked through). This will produce a baked potato with a crispy outside and soft inside in a fraction of the time!
