Everyone has a different way to prepare food, some like their chicken to be roasted, grilled and some enjoy it as steak or baked. Whatever cooking process they follow, in the end, it is important to make the food tasty and healthy. In this blog, I’m going to share some awesome recipes made by baking the potatoes. The process of baking potatoes is also explained in detail so that you never under-bake or over-bake them.
Method for Baking Potatoes
The first and foremost step is to choose the even sized potatoes before baking them. You can scrub them well and remove any eyes. Then decide how you’ll cook the potatoes. Potatoes can be baked with a little cooking fat directly on the oven rack or can be placed inside a baking dish. Another way to bake them is wrapping them in a foil paper. Before wrapping them, prick the potato randomly with a fork
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/ 200 degree Celsius
Arrange the potatoes direct on the baking rack in the oven. Or, place in a baking dish with a dollop of butter or oil and place in the oven.
Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes or 45 minutes depending on the size of the potato. Only remove when it is soft to prick.
