I love baked potatoes but they take so long to cook that I can never be bothered baking them when I'm at home. I never have them when I'm out to eat because it feels like a waste of 'eating out'. So, imagine my joy when I saw a magic way to bake potatoes in forty minutes... I had to do it, cover it in butter, salt and cheese and put it in my face.
This is so easy that I feel a fool for typing it... Take a potato and cut down into it but not all the way to the bottom, it should fan open a bit. If you do manage to cut all the way down it (like I did) then stab it back together with cocktail sticks. Cover it in oil and then put it in the oven at at least 220 degrees C for forty minutes. The skin will go all crispyand the flesh will bake but in a whole new way!
Take them out of the oven and remove the cocktail sticks, season and cover in butter. Then just treat it like a baked potato. Brian had his with mixed baked beans and cheese and I just stuck to my favourite, cheese and butter. Delicious.
This is Brian's review...
So I'm taking that as a ringing endorsement (what can I say, the boy loves baked beans) and I will be making these again, for sure. There are three pre-baked baked potatoes in our freezer and I'm not sure if I can bring myself to eat them now! The produce box is doing good things for my soul...
