Bakedpotatoesole Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F and position racks in top and bottom thirds.
• Wash potato (or potatoes) thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water.
• Dry, then using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spud so that moisture can escape during cooking.
• Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil.
• Sprinkle with kosher salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven.
• Place a baking sheet (I put a piece of aluminum foil) on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
• Bake 1 hour or until skin feels crisp but flesh beneath feels soft.
• Serve by creating a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another.
• It will pop right open.
• But watch out, there will be some steam.
• NOTE: If you're cooking more than 4 potatoes, you'll need to extend the cooking time by up to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef and chili powder until beef is browned, stirring to separate meat. Pour off fat.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Wash the potatoes and place them directly on the oven baking rack. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until very tender when pierced with a skewer.
• When the potatoes are done, cut them down the middle and squeeze both ends. Place a slice of butter in the middle of the potato, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Rub each potato with 1 teaspoon of oil, and prick the top with a fork.
• Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 1 hour.
• Transfer potatoes to a cutting board, and cut in half.
• Using a spoon, gently scoop out the inside flesh of the potatoes and transfer to a medium bowl. Reserve the skins.
• Add the sour cream, melted butter, salt, pepper, ½ of the shredded cheese, and ½ of the scallions, and combine with a hand mixer until smooth.
• Use a spoon to transfer the potato mixture back into the scooped out potato skins.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the potatoes with remaining cheese, and bake for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted.
• Top with sour cream, bacon, and the remaining scallions.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Scrub the potato, and pierce the skin several times with a knife or fork. Rub the skin with olive oil, then with salt.
• Place the potato in the preheated oven, and bake for 90 minutes, or until slightly soft and golden brown. Slice the potato down the center, and serve with butter and black pepper. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top, if desired.
