"What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow."
Baking a potato is easy, right? Maybe yes, maybe no... the answer depends upon your expectations. If you want to end up with a baked potato that looks great, smells amazing and encourages your guest to eat every last morsel, try the following.
Like most good cooking, you must use good ingredients to achieve the best outcome.
These potatoes work great as a side, smothered in chili/cheese, diced/fried as hash, added to a soup, or anywhere else a "decent" potato can be appreciated.
Ingredients:
- Russet Potatoes
- Sea Salt
- Olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Wash/scrub your potatoes clean. Use a paring knife to remove any blemish. Use the paring knife to pierce the potato. 4 stabs per side.
Pour a small amount of olive oil in a dish and rotate each potato in the dish. Roll the oiled potatoes in course salt.
Place the potatoes on the oven rack.
Cook for 20 minutes and turn them over.
Cook for another 20-25 minutes depending upon the size.
Once the potato internal temp reaches 210 degrees, they're done!
Enjoy.
