How to Make Mickies

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and thoroughly scrub 2 lbs (900g) of medium-sized russet potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to prevent steam buildup and potential explosions.
  3. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack without foil or any covering. This ensures maximum crispiness.
  4. Roast for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and a fork easily pierces the center, revealing fluffy insides. For extra crispy exteriors, you can increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) for the last 15 minutes.
  5. Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool slightly before slicing a slit along each potato.
  6. Gently press open each potato to create a rustic, easy-to-serve shape.
  7. Serve immediately with melted butter, salt, and a dollop of sour cream. The crispy skin is the best part! Enjoy!
