Mommy's Baked Potatoes
Family Recipes🍝
Ingredients
- Potatoes: 4 large starchy potatoes (like Russets)
- Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- Salt & Pepper: to taste
- Mommy's Spice Mix: : 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and ½ tsp smoked paprika.
Preparation
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C
- Clean: Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them completely dry with a towel.
- Pierce: Prick each potato a few times with a fork.
- Season: Rub with oil and coat evenly with the salt, pepper, and spice mix.
- Bake: Place directly on the oven rack for 45–60 minutes.
- Serve: Slice open and enjoy while hot!
Pro-Tip: For the absolute crispiest skin, don't wrap your potatoes in aluminum foil! Baking them directly on the oven rack allows the air to circulate 360 degrees. If you want an extra crunch, rub a little bit of butter on the skin 5 minutes before taking them out of the oven.
