How to make it
- Set the air fryer to 270°F (130°C). A 2–3 minute preheat is optional but helps browning.
- Cook for 15–17 minutes. No flipping needed.
- Start checking at the 15-minute mark — air fryer models vary quite a bit.
Tip: Yes, really — straight in the basket, no water. Ice bath after for easy peeling.
Times assume a standard 1500–1800W basket air fryer. Compact or very full baskets can need 2–3 extra minutes; large oven-style units often finish a bit sooner.
