Serve your baked potato with your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, cheese, or chives. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to keep the skin crispy.
Variations
Try wrapping potatoes in foil for softer skin.
Add herbs like rosemary or garlic powder to the oil for extra flavor.
Make twice-baked potatoes by scooping out the inside, mixing with cheese and herbs, then baking again.
FAQ
Can I microwave the potatoes instead of baking?
Yes, microwaving is faster but won’t give you the crispy skin that baking does. For best results, microwave for 5 minutes then finish in the oven.
What’s the best potato for baking?
Russet potatoes are ideal because of their high starch content and thick skin.
