Recipe Tips

For an extra crispy skin, rub the potatoes with a little bit of vegetable oil before baking them in the oven. You can also try adding different herbs and spices to the potatoes before baking them. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure to let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before slicing them open. This will help the inside of the potato to become more fluffy and easier to scoop out. If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat them in the microwave or oven when you're ready to eat them again.
