    Twice-Baked Potatoes with Cauliflower and Cheese (Made in the Joule™ Oven Air Fryer Pro)

    As someone who is still relatively new to the world of Air Frying and the concept of a Smart Ovens, I must admit, I have really enjoyed testing and cooking with the Breville Joule™ Oven Air Fryer Pro!
    At first glance, it is an attractive, well designed countertop appliance. Exactly what you would expect from Breville.

    Look a little closer and you will see that this oven has 13 functions (Toast, Bagel, Bake, Air Fry, Broil, Roast, Pizza, Cookies, Proof, Reheat, Slow Cook, Keep Warm, Dehydrate) to tackle everything from simply toasting a bagel, to roasting a whole chicken.

    But it was when I dug into the “smart” features, that the fun really began. Joule™ Autopilot is exclusive to the Joule™ Oven Air Fryer Pro in conjunction with the Joule™ Oven App, which makes for a stress-free cooking experience. Some recipes change cooking modes midway through the process and that is where the Joule™ Autopilot takes over to automatically make those changes.

    Their app has over 200 well tested recipes that take you step-by-step through the process and deliver impressive results the first time for each recipe. Some recipes change cooking modes midway through the process and that is where the autopilot takes over to automatically make those changes for you.

    We don’t use Alexa or Google Assistant, but this oven has that functionality built in as well.
    The oven comes with all the accessories you need to start cooking straight out of the box: 13’’ non-stick pizza pan; Wire racks (x 2) – Reversible for 8 different rack positions; 9” x 13” broiling rack; 9’’ x 13’’ enamel roasting pan; Air fry/dehydrate basket.

    The Breville Joule™ Oven Air Fryer Pro is so easy to use, Elaine joked that even she could cook dinner… I really hope she does not replace me with a smart oven!

    Twice Baked Potatoes with Cauliflower and Cheese

    If you get the chance, you must try these Twice Baked Potatoes with Cauliflower and Cheese.

    After the app walked me step-by-step through the process of cooking the potatoes, then making the filling, I popped them back in the oven for the last leg of cooking. That is when the oven took over with the Autopilot flight plan, which baked the potatoes for 15 minutes, then automatically switched cooking modes to broil them on medium heat for 2 minutes without me having to monitor the cooking or manually adjust the mode (this also prevents heat loss during those moments between manually switching modes). In the end we were left to enjoy these twice baked potatoes with perfectly crispy skin and a fluffy, flavourful filling.

    Equipment

    • 1 Joule™ Oven Air Fryer Pro

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 large baking potatoes like russets
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • Kosher salt
    • 1 small head of cauliflower cut into florets
    • 3 cups milk
    • 2 bay leaves
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven. Insert the wire rack into the position 6 and set oven to 425°F Bake. While the oven heats, continue to the next step.
    • Prepare the potatoes. Scrub the potatoes under running water; dry them and rub the skin of each with the oil and a little salt. Pierce the skin of each in three or four places with the tines of a fork. Transfer potatoes to a sheet pan.
    • Bake potatoes. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and start the timer.
    • Cook the cauliflower. While the potatoes are baking, put the cauliflower into a saucepan set over medium-high heat, and add the milk and bay leaves. Heat until almost boiling, then reduce the flame to low, and simmer until tender, approximately 20 minutes.
    • Check if it is ready. Bake until the potatoes offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers. If not, give it a bit more time.
    • Make the filling. When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven, slice them open down the middle and use a spoon to scrape out their flesh into a bowl. Add the butter, the cauliflower and a healthy splash of the milk, and mash to combine.
    • Stuff the potatoes. Spoon the mixture back into the empty jackets, place on a baking sheet and shower with cheese.
    • Preheat. Insert the wire rack into position 6 and set oven to 425°F Bake. When the oven heats, continue to the next step.
    • Bake. Return to the oven and start the timer.
    • Check if it is ready. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden. If not give it a bit more time.
