Equipment
- 1 Oven
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Oven mitts
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- 6 medium potatoes scrubbed.
Instructions
- Adjust the oven temperature to 425 degrees. Next, cover a half or quarter sheet pan with aluminum foil and set a cooling rack over it.
- Using a fork, make shallow pricks all over the potato. Transfer to a bowl, cover with oil, and season generously with salt. After rubbing to coat uniformly, put potatoes on the baking sheet that has been prepared.
- Bake the potato for 50–60 minutes, rotating it halfway through with tongs, or until a toothpick or knife easily pierces the center.
- After 5 to 10 minutes of cooling, top with any preferred ingredients and serve right away.
Notes
- As many baked potatoes as you'd like can be prepared at once! It will take longer, though, the more you bake.
- Furthermore, your potatoes will take longer to bake if they weigh more than 6 to 8 ounces.
