Crispy Skin Baked Potatoes image

I used to microwave baked potatoes for about half the cooking time and finish them off in the toaster oven. My better half said they had steamed taste-not like real baked. I found this recipe in one of the many cooking magazines that I subscribe to (not sure which one).

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy skins, pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking. This allows steam to escape and creates a more evenly cooked potato.
  • Rubbing the potatoes with oil or butter before baking adds flavor and helps the skin crisp up.
  • Sprinkling salt and pepper on the potatoes before baking enhances their natural flavor.
  • For a more flavorful potato, try using different types of salt, such as garlic salt or seasoned salt.
  • If you want a crispy potato with a fluffy interior, bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for the first half of the cooking time, then reduce the temperature to finish cooking.
  • To check if the potatoes are done, insert a fork into the center. If the fork goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
  • You can also bake potatoes in the microwave. To do this, pierce the potatoes with a fork and microwave them on high for 5-7 minutes per potato, or until they are tender.
