Simple Baked Potato image

This recipe for baked potatoes is delicious with steak, meatloaf, or by itself. I never was fan of the potato's skin until I began making this recipe! These potatoes taste amazing loaded with cheese, sour cream, and/or chives! If you want to get fancy, use this recipe as a base recipe for one of the many potato skin, whipped baked potato, or other more-to-it recipes on here.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 medium potatoes, scrubbed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Use a fork to poke about 5 holes into each potato. Place each potato on a sheet of aluminum foil about 6 inches wide. Brush butter mixture over potatoes, making sure to evenly coat each one. Wrap up completely in foil. Poke 5 more holes into the wrapped potatoes.
  • Bake potatoes in the center of the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Spread leftover butter mixture over potatoes after cutting them open.

I've tried many baked potato recipes, but this one is by far the best. The potatoes are always fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
