How To Toaster Oven Baked Potatoes Recipes

TOASTER OVEN BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat the toaster oven to 400° on the bake setting. Then set the timer for the number of minutes needed, see the grid above. It should be between 35-75 minutes based on the size. If using the convection setting, set it for 375°. Then set the timer for the number of minutes needed, see the grid above. It should be between 30-60 minutes based on the size.
• Scrub each of your potatoes with water and use a brush if needed. Dry them thoroughly.
• Once the potatoes are dry, using a pastry brush, coat the skins with olive oil. Next, sprinkle on a bit of salt. The last step is to poke each potato two times with a fork.
• Once the toaster oven is preheated, add the potatoes to the rack in the middle of the oven. No need to move or flip them. Just let them bake.
• To test for doneness - The first step is to give it a good squeeze. Carefully open the toaster oven door and with an oven mitt on your hand, give the potato a gentle squeeze. Try not to break the skin open. If it feels firm and has very little give, let it keep cooking. If it does give and feels soft, it may be ready.Once the potato does have a good give to it, you can then double-check it using a sharp skinny knife. Insert it into the middle of the potato and if it slides in easily, it is ready.
• Cut and open as the video above shows. Then top with your favorite toppings. See above for some of my favorites.
• If you have leftovers, baked potatoes store easily in the refrigerator. Wrap each in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When ready to eat, remove from the foil and place on a microwave-safe plate. Heat in the microwave for 3-5 minutes or until hot. It will depend on the size of your potato. To heat in the toaster oven, set for 400° and heat for 10 minutes.
