Baked Potato In Ninja Foodi
I have had the Ninja Foodi as my newest kitchen gadget in the Milner kitchen since last summer.
Many people ask me why I want the Ninja Foodi when I already have lots of air fryers and instant pots.
I always respond by telling them that I love the fact that the Ninja Foodi can do both.
You have the ninja foodi air fryer, and you have the ninja foodi pressure cooker.
At first it was a backup so that I could have another air fryer or pressure cooker running in my kitchen. That way I could cook meat in my air fryer and vegetables in another.
But what I soon realised was that the Ninja Foodi was AMAZING for pressure cooking and then air frying. You could take recipes where you would use a bit of both and then do the whole thing in the Ninja Foodi.
Such as baked potatoes.
You want pressure cooker baked potatoes because of how fluffy the potatoes are, but you want a crispy skin too that the air fryer brings you.
And that is why I am now obsessed with the Ninja Foodi and love mix and matching its uses over mealtimes.
Can You Make Baked Potatoes In The Ninja Foodi?
Yes you can. The Ninja Foodi is ideal for baked potatoes because (like I have mentioned above) you can use the pressure cooker first, then finish with the air fryer lid.
Or you can just use the ninja foodi air fryer, or just use the ninja foodi pressure cooker.
The choice is yours.
Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Baked Potatoes
Previously, we showed you how to cook instant pot baked potatoes. The idea is that you pressure cook your potatoes for 30 minutes and you have perfect potatoes, that are begging to be loaded with your favourite toppings and served straight away.
This is my lazy, quick family dinner, go to recipe.
Just grab some potatoes from your pantry, throw a topping together and you are done.
If you want Ninja Foodi pressure cooker baked potatoes, you do the exact same thing.
Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
When we make Ninja Foodi Air Fryer baked potatoes I follow the exact same system as our air fryer baked potatoes, just add 5 more minutes as the air fryer crisp lid is a little slower.
If you just want a quick air fryer option for baked potatoes, then I recommend you do the same.
But what if you want to combine the two? What if you would like the best of both worlds?
Well, you would:
- Cook Ninja Pressure Cooker Potatoes (for 20 minutes)
- Cook Ninja Air Fryer Potatoes (for 10 minutes)
It’s the same total cook time as just pressure cooking and thanks to the Ninja you have crispy skin too!
How To Make Baked Potatoes In The Ninja Foodi?
If you want to make baked potatoes in the Ninja Foodi this is how you do it:
- Place water into your pressure cooker pot.
- Add your trivet.
- Add baked potatoes.
- Pressure cook + release pressure.
- Air fry + serve.

Ninja Foodi Baked Potato Toppings
What are your favourite baked potato toppings? I have so many that as long as butter and cheese are available then I am happy.
I will usually look in the pantry and the fridge and see what ingredients we have that need using up and use those first.
Last time I made baked potatoes I found some leftover casserole in the fridge, heated it up with cheese and served it on top of the potatoes.
Another time I spotted some eggs and added some mayonnaise and cheese and I had egg mayo.

I love a crispy baked potato and the ninja does both, these were great i had cheese and tuna mayo with mine.
This was my first recipe in the ninja and they were cooked just how i liked them and the crispy ness is just how i like it, i had beans and egg may with some cheddar on mine.
You cannot beat baked potatoes and i could fit enough in to feed the whole family 5 of us over here and they were all cooked and crispy good stuff.
Hate this device. Forever messing about swapping lids, building up pressure, reducing pressure, putting water in, taking it out, swap the lid again. Just put a spud in the oven with oil on and hey presto. Cooked. No messing about with this ninja rubbish.
Hi Philip,
Sorry to hear you do not like the Ninja Foodi, but cooking with kitchen gadgets is not for everyone 🙂
Followed to the letter and potatoes were hard in the middle.
Hi Ian,
This will depend on the size of your potatoes. We do not give an exact weight as potatoes are generally different in size and shape and sometimes you can fit more in than we did and sometimes you can fit less in. The recipe is how our potatoes turned out and no ours were not hard in the middle, so just an extra minute or 2 and yours would have been fine 🙂
Loved this recipe! Mine came out perfectly! So happy I can finally do jacket potatoes in my ninja foodie! Thank youuu
Thank you Sanya glad you enjoyed the recipe 😊
Absalutley love my ninja baked potatos done to perfection fluffy on the inside crispy on the outside I could live off these last night I made with own made colsalow and cheese..I have tuna & sweet corn .chilli concarni.I even do sweet potato jackets with cottage cheese and pineapple.. all healthy with a side salad I just love em all 😋 thank you Ninja
How does the timing change of cooking for one person? Alternatively, do these freeze and reheat well.
Hi Jan,
I would do the same temp and the potato will be fine. Yes they do very well, here is our frozen baked potato recipe:

😊
I’ve had my foodi over a year and hardly used it, the jacket potatoes came out perfect, quick and easy after a long week at work
Popped them back in for 5 mins with the insides mixed with cheese and onion 😋
Can you do the potatoes first in a crockpot pressure cooker and then use bog standard air fryer? I do not have a ninja. Thanks in advance
Hi Christine,
Yes you could them that way 🙂
A new family favorite!!!! We did loaded baked potatoes with a potato bar for supper. So delicious!!!! Thank you for this!
Full question follows! Do you reduce the cooking time for one potato? If so, how long is required? Thanks.
Hi Marlene,
You could check 10 minutes from the end to try and see but generally the potato should take the same time to cook as 4 potatoes 🙂
