Here’s a simple Baked Potato recipe that comes out fluffy inside and crispy on the outside:
Ingredients:
- 2–4 large russet potatoes (or any starchy potato)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- Salt (coarse or flaky is best)
- Optional: black pepper, garlic powder, or herbs
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes well, then dry them completely with a towel.
- Prick the skin several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Rub with oil all over, then sprinkle generously with salt (this makes the skin crispy).
- Place directly on the oven rack (or on a baking tray lined with parchment).
- Bake for 45–60 minutes, depending on size, until the skin is crisp and a fork slides in easily.
- Cut open, fluff the inside with a fork, and add toppings of your choice.
Topping Ideas:
- Classic: butter, sour cream, chives
- Cheesy: shredded cheddar + melted butter
- Loaded: crispy bacon bits, sour cream, cheese, green onions
- Healthy: Greek yogurt, steamed broccoli, and a sprinkle of parmesan
👉 Do you want me to give you a quick microwave version too (ready in 10 minutes) or stick with the oven-baked classic?
