How to Make Basted Baked Potato
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) fan/220°C (425°F) conventional.
- Wash 2 large russet potatoes thoroughly and pierce each several times with a fork.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. (Feel free to customize your spice blend!)
- Use a pastry brush to generously coat the potatoes with the olive oil mixture, ensuring the entire surface is well-basted.
- Place the potatoes directly on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the skins are crispy and golden brown. Use a fork to check for doneness.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings – we recommend a generous pat of butter!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
