Alvins Potatoes Recipes

THE BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• 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.

ALVIN'S POTATOES

Steps:

• Depending on the size of potatoes, cut in half or quarter, place in low casserole dish (like a 9x13).
• Place chunks of butter over potatoes.
• Spread sour cream over potatoes (at this point if you are using potatoe toppers INSTEAD of bacon & green onion, sprinkle over sour cream and bake, it should only take 1 package or less). You can find "Potato Toppers in the produce section).
• Bake at 350-375°F for approximately 1 hour minutes, take casserole out of oven and sprinkle the crisp bacon and green onion over top and continue baking for another 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
• Edited for baking time. It all depends on the size of potatoes. I find that cut potatoes bake faster. Adjust to suit.
