List of Ingredients




Baked Potato

First start with a nice brown skinned potato they call baking potatoes at the market. Avoid the really huge ones, they taste too starchy and old. The medium sized ones are the best.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Give your potato a good washing/rinsing under cold water, then rub all over with kosher salt. Now some people take a knife and prick it with the tip to allow the steam to escape so it won't blow up in the oven. Then place your potato on a rack in the middle of the oven for 45-50 minutes.

Basic Baked Potato



4 Idaho potatoes

Scrub potatoes and pierce all over with a fork. Line microwave with paper towels and arrange potatoes on top. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, turn and rearrange potatoe and microwave 5 minutes more. Repeat until potaotes feel soft, 5-8 minutes more. Let stand 5 minutes. Preheat oven to 375

Cut an X into the top of each potato. Scoop out the flesh leaving a thick potato shell. Chop the potato's flesh and place each in its own small bowl. Combine with add ons(see recipes) Arrange stuffed potatoes in baking pan and bake 15 minutes or until heated.

The Baked Potato (Good Eats)



1 large russet potato (If it looks like Mr. Potato Head®, you've got the right one.)

Canola oil to coat

Kosher salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees and position racks in top and bottom thirds. Wash potato (or potatoes) thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water. Dry, then using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spud so that moisture can escape during cooking. Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings.

Bake 1 hour or until skin feels crisp but flesh beneath feels soft. Serve by creating a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another. It will pop right open. But watch out, there will be some steam.

NOTE: If you're cooking more than 4 potatoes, you'll need to extend the cooking time by up to 15 minutes.
