Baked Potato

 

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:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes well, then dry them completely with a towel.
3. Prick the skin several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
4. Rub with oil all over, then sprinkle generously with salt (this makes the skin crispy).
5. Place directly on the oven rack (or on a baking tray lined with parchment).
6. Bake for 45–60 minutes, depending on size, until the skin is crisp and a fork slides in easily.
7. 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
