Baked Potato Recipe Quick

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. Add toppings if using.

QUICK BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees Rinse potatoes, and pierce several times with tines of a fork.
• Place on a microwave-safe plate; cover with damp paper towels.
• Microwave at HIGH 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place potatoes in a large jelly-roll pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle evenly with sea salt, turning to coat.
• Bake at 450° for 20 minutes or until tender, turning after 10 minutes. Serve with butter and pepper and toppings!

QUICK AND CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks with a sharp knife and cutting board. Place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 12-15 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes or so, until the chunks can be pierced easily with a fork, but not falling apart.
• While the potatoes are in the microwave, preheat your broiler. Place an oven rack on the second position below the broiler - not the top position.
• Whisk together all the remaining ingredients (from the olive oil to the sea salt) in a separate small bowl to make the sauce. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the tender potatoes and the sauce, and toss to coat.
• Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a Silpat pan liner. I think aluminum is best for browning. Broil until brown and crispy, tossing often. Keep your eye on them as they cook so they don't burn! Serve warm.

SIMPLE BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Use a fork to poke about 5 holes into each potato. Place each potato on a sheet of aluminum foil about 6 inches wide. Brush butter mixture over potatoes, making sure to evenly coat each one. Wrap up completely in foil. Poke 5 more holes into the wrapped potatoes.
• Bake potatoes in the center of the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Spread leftover butter mixture over potatoes after cutting them open.

QUICK ROASTED POTATOES - READY IN 20 MINUTES!

Steps:

• Bring a medium-sized pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• Cut each potato into chunks (small potatoes in half, medium potatoes into 4 chunks and very large ones into 6). Skip this step if you're using baby potatoes.
• Place the potatoes into the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they're just tender.
• Heat the oven to 200°C, 180°C fan, gas 7, and place a baking tray or a baking dish inside to heat up for a couple of minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer them into the hot baking dish. Season with extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sea salt and black pepper, and spread out the potatoes in a nice even layer.
• Transfer the potatoes into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until crispy and golden. Halfway through cooking time, remove the pan from the oven, and flip the potatoes on the other side.
• Remove the baking tray from the oven, sprinkle the potatoes with extra sea salt and pepper if you like, and let them rest for 5 more minutes before serving.
