perfectly baked potatoes
Now that we have our essentials ready, let’s embark on the journey to creating the perfect baked potatoes. Follow these simple steps:
- Clean and Prep: Start by thoroughly cleaning and drying the potatoes. Remove any eyes or imperfections you come across. For optimal cooking, use a fork to poke holes all around each potato. This step ensures even cooking and prevents any unwanted potato explosions.
- Season to Perfection: Lightly coat each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are well-covered. Then, sprinkle salt over the oiled potatoes to your preferred level of saltiness. This step not only adds flavor but also helps create a crispy skin.
- Wrap in Foil: Take a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap each potato completely. Place a potato in the center and wrap it tightly in the foil. Repeat this process for all your potatoes. The foil helps lock in moisture and heat, resulting in a tender interior.
