I have always wanted light and fluffy baked potatoes like I would get in nice steakhouses, but NEVER could do it at home! I found this recipe and holy cow.. IT WORKED!! :D Who'd a thunk? Key is to start with a mealy fleshed potato - Idaho is best I find. And the salt draws the moisture out of the potato while baking, making it light and fluffy!! It really works! Ingredient amounts are just there because they have to be, but use however many potatoes you need. Ingredients:
4 idaho potatoes |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400º.
2. Wash the potatoes well and while still damp, rub it with plenty of salt.
3. Pierce the potatoes with a fork all over.
4. Bake at 400º for 40- 60 minute or until tender. When a knife inserted into the center of the potato comes out with no resistance, they are done.
5. The result is a crispy exterior with a fluffy interior.
