Baked Potatoes Recipes

SIMPLE BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Use a fork to poke about 5 holes into each potato. Place each potato on a sheet of aluminum foil about 6 inches wide. Brush butter mixture over potatoes, making sure to evenly coat each one. Wrap up completely in foil. Poke 5 more holes into the wrapped potatoes.
• Bake potatoes in the center of the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Spread leftover butter mixture over potatoes after cutting them open.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F and position racks in top and bottom thirds.
• Wash potato (or potatoes) thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water.

• Sprinkle with kosher salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven.
• Place a baking sheet (I put a piece of aluminum foil) on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
• Bake 1 hour or until skin feels crisp but flesh beneath feels soft.
• Serve by creating a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another.
