Baked potato is a very old dish, and it is known as a classic. Basically, this means that all you have to do is cook a potato by baking it in the oven. You might be surprised at how popular such simple food can be: you can use baked potatoes for many different purposes, or eat them on their own without adding anything else. This flexible product can be used everywhere from small family gatherings to large restaurants.

If you want to make a baked potato, first of all choose the right type of potato – usually russets work best because they are fluffy and have an earthy taste which is ideal for baking. Once you have picked one out wash it well then prick with fork all over before rubbing olive oil into skin and sprinkling some salt on top placing in an oven until completely done cooking. While being baked outside becomes crispy while inside remains soft and moist thus creating interesting contrast between textures

What differentiates the baked potato from other foods is that it can be an art form in combination with other ingredients. The traditional topping is butter, sour cream, and chives; for more daring taste buds try chili, cheese, or guacamole. Each bite delivers a mixture of sensations: some creamy and tangy; others salty or smooth.

Ingredients:

  4 large russet potatoes

  Olive oil

  Salt

  Toppings of your choice (butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon etc.)

Instructions:

  Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse potatoes well under running water to remove any dirt and pat dry with a paper towel.

  Poke each potato several times with a fork or knife so steam can escape while baking and prevent them from bursting open.

Massage olive oil onto each potato and then lightly salt them for a crispy skin and enhanced flavor.

You can put the potatoes right on the oven rack or place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until soft when pierced with a fork.

Once they’re done baking, take the potatoes out of the oven carefully (using mitts or a towel) — they’ll be hot. Let cool for a few minutes until you can handle them safely.

To serve, use a knife to cut each potato in half lengthwise, then fluff up the insides with a fork. Top with butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon — whatever you like!

Serve immediately while still hot. You’re gonna love this ultra-comforting dish!
