I have had a lot of bad luck with baking potatoes. I know, how hard can it be? Stick them in the oven for an hour and you're done. But mine always came out hard as rocks in the middle, no matter what the size or how many times I poked them. SO frustrating after you've been waiting an hour+ for them. So I did a little homework and put together a couple of tips from random people on
allrecipes.com and came up with this method. Cuts baking time in
half and every time I've done it this way, they have turned out great! This is also handy if your main dish requires some time in the oven, too. Then your entree and potatoes cook together for the last 20 minutes of entree cooking time.
*I have only tried this with 3-8 potatoes at a time. Cooking times may be different if you need to make more
- Wash and scrub potatoes
- Poke with a fork several times, turn on oven to 375 degrees.
- Microwave potatoes for 10 minutes, turning potatoes after 5 minutes
- Remove, sprinkle with your favorite seasoning or kosher salt, cover with foil
- Bake in oven for an additional 20 minutes
