Directions
Making baked potatoes isn’t difficult, but here are the tips that made the most difference.
Slice them First: Slice a cross shape about 5 mm thick into each potato. This helps them release some steam, makes the interior more fluffy, and also makes them easier to slice into when they’re piping hot.
Bake Them for Longer Than You Think: Many recipes recommend baking potatoes for an hour at 220°C. Instead, bake at 200°C for closer to 2 hours. The potatoes won’t burn at this temperature and the long bake means the skin will be so crisp that it’s practically cracker-like.
Return Them To The Oven: After the 2 hours are up, remove the potatoes and carefully cut deeper into the slices you made initially. Then put the potatoes back in the oven for 10 more minutes. This helps to dry out the flesh further and makes it extra fluffy.
Serve with a dollop of butter, a twist of black pepper and a very small pinch of SIDS CRAZY SALT.
