Baked Potato - Hot Fluffy Delicious

As a kid one of my favorite days was Sunday because we had Baked Potatoes for dinner that day. My sister never ate the potato skins so I got to eat them. I'd drop a couple of butter pats into each half and sprinkle on the black pepper liberally. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm was that a quick ride to heaven or what.


Once Baked, Twice Baked or Three Times Baked a great Baked Potato can make a simple sit down with family or friends a meal to remember. Maybe you just put a pat of butter on your baked potato or maybe you are more adventurous and cover it in sour cream, salsa and black olives all at the same time, the baked potato will still taste great.

Baked Potato Cooking Tip

Cooking a Baked Potato is as easy as throwing it in the microwave but for the best flavor I recommend baking it in the oven for 60 to 90 minutes at 190 degrees or higher.

A Baked Potato from the oven will have the perfect slightly crunchy skin and a fluffy filling inside. Of course there are many ways to cook it and I have added a number of videos further down on the page to highlight some of the different approaches. ENJOY
