Bakers

I wasn’t planning to add this one to the website here as I figure anyone can just *Google* a similar recipe.

But, hubby is so well-trained that he tried to find this online here when I was out of town for Christmas and then he had to call me because it wasn’t here. 😉

So… since part of the reason for this website is us not having to weed through all my notations elsewhere, here it is!

TIP: For larger potatoes, increase baking time to 75 mins.

NOTE: You can use this same recipe for baking sweet potatoes – so perfect!

Bakers Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided (3/4 tsp to rub each potato)
• 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
• Suggested garnish(es): butter, sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and/or chives

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425° F.
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Sprinkle sea salt across parchment paper.
4. Using a fork, poke each potato 8 times (2 in a line on all 4 *sides*). You’ll end up with 24 little holes (assuming a 3-tine fork like I use: a big serving fork). See picture above.
5. Rub each potato with 3/4 tsp extra virgin olive oil then roll each oil-rubbed potato in the sea salt on the parchment paper.
6. Arrange salted potatoes – equally spaced – on the baking sheet.
7. Bake on middle rack for 60 mins, until potatoes are fork-tender and the skin is crisp.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 mins
9. Slice open each potato, fluff the insides, then serve with desired toppings.

NOTE: Garnish(es) not included in Nutrition Facts below.
