 Baked Potatoes

Potatoes seem to get sort of a bad rap as many of our favorite chips are made from potatoes that have been fried up to deliciousness. But a baked potato can be a very healthy meal side dish, or with a slew of toppings, it can become its own centerpiece to a meal.

Baking potatoes in the air fryer is a very easy and quick task there is no wrapping them in foil and sticking them in the oven for what seems like forever. With an air fryer, all you need to do is wash your potatoes, rub in a small amount of oil of your choice, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt then place in the air fryer after poking several holes with a fork. You want to bake the potatoes in the air fryer at 400° for 25 minutes and then flip them over for an extra 10 to 25 minutes depending on the potato size. To test that they are done, stick a fork in them, the fork should easily go all the way through the potato.

This method of “baking” potatoes leaves you with a perfectly crisp outside and a soft and fluffy inside just like you would enjoy at the most expensive of steak houses.

Taquitos

For another easy meal that everyone will enjoy try taquitos. You can put meat in them, but this recipe is made even better without the use of meat. Making it super cheap and less of a calorie intake.

Simply fill the taquitos with refried beans and you have a hearty fun Mexican-American dish. All you will need is some tortillas, a can of refried beans, some lime juice, cumin, olives, and whatever you would like to top them with such as salsa/guacamole/olives, etc.

Preheat your air fryer to 340. Combine some olives, lime juice, and cumin in a small bowl and mix them to combine the ingredients well. Then lay your tortillas flat and spread a few refried beans in the middle and sprinkle with the olive seasoning mixture. Make up all of your taquitos and then spray the inside of your air fryer basket and place in six taquitos at a time. Cook them for 3 to 4 minutes until they are golden brown and then top with your favorite toppings once they are cool enough to eat.
