OVEN BAKED POTATO RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Choose a russet potato free of blemishes.
• Wash potatoes under running water with a vegetable scrubber brush.
• Pat potato dry.
• Poke the potato all around with a fork for steam to release.
• Spray or rub oil or butter lightly over potato.
• Sprinkle salt over the potato.
• Place potato directly on convection oven rack.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until done. Turn potato over halfway through baking time.
• Remove from oven when baked.
• Cut or squish top of potato carefully.
• Garnish with butter, yogurt, spices or other condiments.
• Idea: reserve skin to make a baked potato skin with cheese later.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel potatoes and cut into half-inch thick slices (lengthwise) cut again into 1/2-inch thick fries. Place the potatoes into a pot with cold water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring up to a gentle boil and simmer until a paring knife tip goes through easily. Cooked about 3/4 of the way through.
• Drain carefully and put in a bowl. Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well and lay out in 1 layer on nonstick baking sheet. Bake until light brown.
• When brown, sprinkle with Parmesan and continue to bake until well-browned and crispy and the cheese is melted and caramelized, about 6 to 7 more minutes. Remove and let cool for 2 minutes. Serve.
