Baked Potato Recipe

Introduction:

Baked potatoes are a classic comfort food known for their crispy skins and fluffy interiors.

They’re versatile and can be served with a variety of toppings to suit any taste.

Ingredients:

Russet potatoes (1 per serving)

Olive oil

Salt (coarse kosher or flaked sea salt is best)

Butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, and other toppings as desired

Instructions:

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Seasoning:

Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. This helps to enhance the flavor and crispness of the skin.

Baking:

Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the oven (you can use a baking sheet if you prefer).

Bake for about 45-60 minutes. The exact time will depend on the size of the potatoes. They are done when the skins are crisp and a fork can easily pierce through them.

Serving:

Remove the potatoes from the oven and make a slit on the top. Fluff the inside with a fork.

Serve with toppings like butter, sour cream, chives, shredded cheese, or any of your favorite additions.

Conclusion:

Baked potatoes are easy to make and offer a fantastic side dish or main course option.

The crispy skin and fluffy interior make them irresistibly satisfying, especially when topped with your favorite condiments.
