Baked Potato


There are so many ways to cook yummy potatoes. The picture i provide above is baked potato. This is one of my favorite and i'm sure you guys love it too. Let me share you an idea how to prepare these.scrubbed three potatoes, poked holes, and microwaved them for 5 minutes to get them started and to save time in the oven. I put the olive oil in a baggie and rolled them around in it (careful, they were hot!), then rolled them in some kosher salt on a plate. I used my finger to evenly distribute the salt so it wasn't too clumpy. Then I baked the potatoes at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes - no foil, just right on the rack. I did put a cookie sheet underneath and I'm glad I did because it caught a bunch of oil & salt the dripped off. When they were done, we loaded them up with butter, sour cream, and a little pepper. I usually add bacon bits at the top, i think it does bring more taste. They were really good! Hubby and the kids as well as Alyssa love it too. It's really worth to try and i'll definitely make these again!
