Hi. The slotted tray in three other is three Vortex Plus. If you have three Omni Plus just user the baking tray and the black tray on the bottom.

As a guess how much does each of your potatoes weigh. Since we can’t prick the skin to test for doneness, I want to be sure my potato is not too big and will not be done in the recommended time.

They are about 11 oz. But you can use a knife to check for doneness.

Do you think I could adapt your recipe for 1 small potato in the Vortex Mini 2 quart? The inside of the basket is 6-5/8” x 6-5/8” and about 3” deep. I’m not very good at cutting ingredients! However, it looks so good!

Absolutely! I would turn the potato during cooking and at the last step where you brown it, keep a close eye since the heating element is closer so you don’t want it to over cook.
