THE BAKED POTATO



The Baked Potato image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 potato per person

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large russet potato (If it looks like Mr. Potato Head®, you've got the right one.)
Canola oil to coat
Kosher salt
Optional toppings, such as butter, sour cream, shredded Cheddar and/or scallions

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.

  • DO choose the right potato. The best potato for baking, hands down, is a Russet potato. Also called an Idaho potato, this high-starch, low-moisture spud is also ideal for mashing or deep-frying.
  • DO set your oven to the right temperature. Set the oven temperature too high, and the skin of the potato could burn before the inside is cooked. Set your temperature too low, however, your potatoes will take all day to cook.
  • DO know the difference between olive oil and butter. You’ll want to stock olive oil and butter when making a baked potatoes, but keep in mind that these two ingredients aren’t necessarily interchangeable.
  • DO pile on the toppings! Three Ways Stuffed Baked Potatoes. A baked potato is a blank canvas for an endless array of tasty toppings. From classic sour cream, crumbled bacon, and cheddar to Mediterranean-inspired tapenade, capers, and goat cheese, the only limit is your imagination.
  • DON'T forget to prick the skin with a fork. Fail to do this, and your potato could explode in the oven. (Yes, we’re serious!) Pricking holes in your potato allows steam to escape while it bakes.
  • DON'T wrap your potato in foil. Wrapping your potato in tin foil creates a steamed effect that may help it cook a little faster, but you’ll lose the irresistibly crispy skin that makes a baked potato just so good.
  • DON'T use the microwave. Yes, it’s faster than the oven, but nuking your potato in the microwave is just about the worst thing you can do for it in terms of deliciousness.
