You would think that baking a simple potato wouldn’t have so many questions around it, but like anything else in cooking and baking, there are factors that affect the best way to make them! Here are a few basics for baking potatoes that will help you make the best tones ever!
Ingredients
- 4 medium/large russet potatoes scrubbed well
- 4 tbsp cold pressed canola oil or other neutral flavoured oil
- 4 tbsp flaked sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F.
- Pierce each potato 3-4 times with the tines of a fork.
- Coat each one well in olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt all over.
- Bake in the oven for 60-75 minutes or until they are fork tender. Remove and cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- To serve, once they are warm cut a slit lengthwise down the top of the potato, not cutting to the very end however. Take your fingers and place on either side of the potato and push the ends in towards each other to "pop" the center open ( it will look like a restaurant potato now!)
- Serve with butter and pepper, or any and all toppings!
