RESTAURANT STYLE BAKED POTATOES



Restaurant Style Baked Potatoes image

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy skin and fluffy interiors, choose potatoes that are similar in size and shape. Russet potatoes are a popular choice due to their high starch content.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid piercing the skin with a fork or knife, as this can create entry points for bacteria.
  • Rubbing the potatoes with olive oil not only enhances flavor, but also helps achieve a crispy texture. If you prefer a healthier option, consider using avocado oil or melted butter.
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the potatoes. You can customize the seasoning to your taste preferences. Experiment with different herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
  • To prevent the potatoes from drying out during baking, wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Alternatively, you can place them in a baking dish with a small amount of water at the bottom.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F/200°C) for the first 30 minutes to create a crispy skin. Then, reduce the heat to 350°F/175°C and continue baking until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Conclusion:

These easy restaurant-style baked potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that can accompany a variety of main courses. Perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Whether you are hosting a special occasion dinner or simply looking for an elevated side dish for your weeknight meal, these baked potatoes will not disappoint. Remember to experiment with different seasonings and toppings to create your own unique variation of this classic dish.
