Baked Potato Tips Recipe
Do you use aluminum foil? Bad move. You're actually making a boiled
potato. The foil traps the moisture and essentially steams the
potato.
Place the potato on the oven rack instead of wrapping it, and pierce
the skin a few times with a fork. Place a piece of foil on the rack
below the potato to catch any drippings from the potatoes. The result
will be a baked potato with a crispy skin. For an even crispier skin,
rub some butter or spray with cooking spray before baking it. Bake
the potato at 450 degrees for one hour.
Another wonderful idea is to salt the potato after you rub it with
butter or spray it with cooking spray. We use Kosher salt when
adding this touch.
How do you open a baked potato? Use a fork to make two cuts--once
lengthwise and then crosswise. Push the potato from the ends and
you'll have one very presentable potato.
