Basted Baked Potato Recipes

THE BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and position racks in top and bottom thirds. Wash potato (or potatoes) thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water. Dry, then using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spud so that moisture can escape during cooking. Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven. Place a baking sheet 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. It will pop right open. But watch out, there will be some steam. Add toppings if using.

STEAK AND POTATOES FOR TWO

Steps:

• For the twice baked potatoes: Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350ºF. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet then bake until a sharp knife can easily be inserted (approximately 30-45 minutes.)
• Remove from the oven and halve the baked potatoes. Carefully scoop out the flesh. Drizzle the potato skins with a few teaspoons of olive oil then place back in the oven and allow to bake for 10-15 minutes until crisp.
• Mash the cooked potato with cream cheese, grated cheese and chives and season to taste. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins and top with more grated cheese. Place back in the oven to bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
• To cook the steak, heat a cast-iron pan over high heat.
• Season the steak generously with salt then place in the pan to sear for 2 minutes per side, depending on thickness and required doneness.
• Add butter to the pan along with thyme and garlic then baste the steak with the flavored butter for another 1-2 minutes or until steak is cooked to your preference. Keep in mind that the steak will continue cooking while it's resting so it's a good idea to remove it from the pan just before done to your preference. For a rare steak, remove it from the pan when the internal temperature reads 55ºC/130ºF on a meat thermometer, for medium rare remove when it's at 60ºC/135ºF.
