Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 1 servings
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 1 large baking potato; 1 tbsp olive oil; garlic and herb salt, to taste; freshly ground black pepper, to taste; 1 (15 oz) can baked beans in tomato sauce; 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes; salt, to taste; 1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded; 2 tbsp butter; 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1

Pierce the baking potato several times with a knife.

2

Drizzle the potato with olive oil and rub it all over the skin. Season generously with garlic and herb salt and black pepper.

3

Microwave the potato on high for 5 minutes to par-cook it.

4

While the potato is in the microwave, preheat your air fryer to 180°C / 355°F.

5

Carefully remove the hot potato from the microwave and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Place it in the preheated air fryer and cook for 20 minutes.

6

While the potato cooks, prepare the toppings. Empty the can of baked beans into a microwave-safe bowl and season with crushed red pepper flakes and salt.

7

Microwave the beans for 1.5 minutes, then let them sit in the microwave. This helps the sauce thicken.

8

Grate the cheddar cheese and finely dice the red onion.

9

After 20 minutes, carefully open the foil on top of the potato to expose the skin. Increase the air fryer temperature to 200°C / 400°F and cook for another 10 minutes to make the skin crispy.

10

While the potato skin crisps, finish heating the beans in the microwave until they are piping hot (about another 1.5 minutes).

11

Remove the finished potato from the air fryer. Cut a cross on top and squeeze the sides to open it up.

12

Add butter to the hot potato, followed by a generous amount of black pepper and a layer of shredded cheese.

13

Pour the hot baked beans over the potato.

14

Top with the diced red onion and the remaining shredded cheese. Serve immediately.
