Baked Potato

Fellow blogger and brand new mom Julieann asks, “How do you make your baked potatoes?”

First I scrub and prick them with a fork.

Then I brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.

Then they bake at 400F for one hour. Extremely big potatoes may take longer, small ones may be done more quickly, check by poking with a fork or squeezing.

Finally I top them with whatever floats my boat, usually butter, cheese, and sour cream.

That is my favorite way to make them too. The other way I like is just popping them in the slow cooker. You don't get the crispy skins like you do in the oven, but it also doesn't get your kitchen hot :)

Thanks for posting how you make them. I still have not perfected the "Baked Potato"!
