The perfect baked potato

I’ve finally worked out the secret for the fluffiest, softest baked potato. I only used regular washed potatoes as well!

baled potato
The temperature/time combination is: 190°C for 1.5 hours.

  1. Using a fork, prick potatoes (deeply) with holes around 1 inch apart.

    The inside should be creamy and fluffy, like mash, while the outside is crispy.
    Would be amazing with truffle butter!

    I’m really sick of soft foods.

    1.5 hours sounds like an eternity.  TRY THIS.

    STAB POTATO ALL OVER WITH FORK.THROW IN MICROWAVE FOR 5 MINUTES.
    IF YOU WANT CRISPY SKIN,THROW IN OVEN FOR A QUICK TOAST.
    SLATHER WITH CONDIMENTS.
