Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 medium red potatoes, with peel still on
8 medium green onions
Cooking spray
3/4 cup chopped cooked ham
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Scrub the potatoes with the vegetable brush. Poke each potato several times with the fork (this lets the steam escape and makes it easier to split the potato open later). Put potatoes about 1 inch apart in a circle on the plate. Microwave on High for 8 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Use the pot holders to take plate out of microwave.
  • Peel the outside layer of skin from the green onions. Slice onions on the cutting board, using the knife (you need about 1/2 cup).
  • Spray the skillet with the cooking spray. Put the green onions and ham (or bacon bits or pepperoni) in skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, stirring all the time with the wooden spoon, until ham is hot. Take skillet off hot burner.
  • Cut baked potatoes lengthwise in half, using knife. (If the potatoes are too hot, hold them with a pot holder). Fluff insides of potato with fork. Put 1 tablespoon of the sour cream on each potato half, using the rubber spatula to get it out of the measuring spoon. Spread sour cream a little with rubber spatula. Top each potato half evenly with some ham mixture and cheese.

CRISPY GOLDEN SPUDS



Crispy golden spuds image

Crunchy roast potatoes that work every time - use a touch of turmeric for colour and bay and stock for flavour

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Side dish

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½kg potato , such as Maris Piper or King Edward, cut into large roastie size
2 tbsp vegetable bouillon powder or 2 vegetable stock cubes
1 tsp turmeric
3 bay leaves
6 tbsp vegetable, sunflower or rapeseed oil
2 tbsp duck or goose fat (optional)
1 tbsp plain flour

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pan, cover with cold water and add the bouillon powder or stock cubes, turmeric and bay leaves. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 mins until the potatoes start to soften on the outside but remain whole.
  • Drain the potatoes well and give them a shake in the colander to rough up the edges, then leave to steam-dry in the colander for 5 mins. Meanwhile, pour the oil and duck or goose fat, if using, into your largest baking tray (the spuds will need plenty of space to really crisp up) and put in the oven underneath the turkey to heat for a few mins. Once the potatoes are dry, sprinkle with the flour and plenty of seasoning, then toss to coat. Can be frozen for up to 3 months - to cook from frozen, add an extra 20 mins to the cooking time.
  • Remove the hot tray from the oven. Carefully tip in the potatoes and coat in the hot fat. Cook for 30 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6, on the lower shelf of the oven underneath the joint of meat, if making. When you take the joint or main meal out, turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Turn the potatoes over in the tray and continue cooking for 45 mins-1 hr longer on the top shelf, until golden and crispy.

CRISPY BAKED SPUDS



Crispy Baked Spuds image

A different way to fix the sometimes-boring potato. They come out crisp, and they're really good alongside a steak or chicken. You can also cut them smaller and make "steak fries" to have with a meal or alone! This has been written down on a recipe card for years, and for some reason I didn't write down where I found it, or maybe I made it up. You can use any kind of herb you happen to like, tarragon or parsley are also good, or no herbs at all.

CRISPY HERB BAKED CHICKEN



Crispy Herb Baked Chicken image

I found this recipe on a box of Idaho Spuds Mashed Potato flakes and tried it tonight. Absolutely delicious and as simple as can be. Just a few simple ingredients and voila, chicken fit for a king! I used a 350 degree oven instead of 375 because I fixed some roasted red potatoes at the same time. They both turned out deliciously well.

Provided by Alex and Andrews Mi

Categories     High Protein

Time 55m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup idaho spuds mashed potato flakes
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4-1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cut-up frying chicken, skinned
1/3 cup margarine or 1/3 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375. Grease or line with foil and grease 15x10x1-inch baking pan or 13x9- inch pan. In medium bowl, combine potato flakes, Parmesan cheese and garlic salt; stir until well mixed. Dip chicken pieces into margarine; roll in potato flake mixture to coat. Place in greased pan. Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear.
  • I used garlic powder instead of salt and boneless, skinless breasts and thighs instead of the entire chicken because that is what I had available.

Tips:

  • To ensure crispy potato skins, ensure the potatoes are thoroughly dried before tossing them in oil and seasoning.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation, resulting in evenly crispy potatoes.
  • For a crispier texture, opt for larger potatoes, as they have a higher starch content that aids in crispiness.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or baking sheet for optimal heat conduction and crispy results.
  • Feel free to experiment with various seasonings and herbs to create unique flavor combinations. Paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, rosemary, thyme, and grated parmesan are excellent options.
  • If aiming for a softer, fluffy interior, cover the potatoes with foil during the initial baking stage.

Conclusion:

Baking potatoes is a versatile cooking technique that yields delicious and crispy results. Whether you prefer classic plain potatoes or explore various seasoning options, this method offers a delightful side dish or snack. With careful attention to selecting the right potatoes, preparing them properly, and using the right cooking tools, you can achieve perfectly crispy baked potatoes that will satisfy your taste buds and impress your family and friends.
