Ingredients for Baked Potatoes Forever

  • Baking Potatoes
  • Canola Oil

How to Make Baked Potatoes Forever

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pierce each potato several times with a sharp knife to prevent steam buildup.
  3. Place potatoes on a plate. Pour 1 teaspoon of olive oil into your clean hands and thoroughly rub the oil over each potato.
  4. Use any remaining oil on the plate to lightly coat the potatoes further.
  5. Place potatoes directly onto the middle rack of the preheated oven.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  8. Cut potatoes in half or leave whole. Explore endless topping possibilities!
  9. Try a flavorful vegetable curry or a vibrant succotash mix.
  10. Consider a hearty lima bean stew, Indian-style chickpeas with eggplant and tomatoes, or roasted peppers with balsamic vinegar.
  11. Experiment with various beans: baked beans, chickpeas with plain yogurt and lime juice, black beans with onions, mushrooms, and tomato sauce.
  12. Embark on your flavor adventure and create your own unique baked potato masterpiece!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
