Tips for Perfect Mexican Baked Potatoes:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use medium-sized russet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Scrub the potatoes well: Before baking, scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Prick the potatoes: Use a fork to prick the potatoes all over. This helps the steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
- Rub the potatoes with oil: Rubbing the potatoes with oil helps them to crisp up and brown nicely in the oven.
- Season the potatoes: Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before baking.
- Bake the potatoes until tender: Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Once the potatoes are baked, top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, cheese, salsa, or guacamole.
