Baked Potatoes Oven Recipe
The old-fashioned way of baking potatoes in the oven is unknown to many. It saves crowding out the microwave and the end result is better consistency with a flavorful potato skin.
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes white, idaho
- 1 Tablespoon oil or bacon drippings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash potatoes over running water and pat dry.
- Puncture each potato about ½ dozen times all around with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Rub some vegetable oil (or bacon drippings) around each potato to coat.
- Place on a baking sheet or directly on the oven shelf. Bake for about 1 hour.
- Test to confirm baked by poking half-way deep with a fork. No resistance past the skin is good for being done.
