- Potato Selection: Use russet potatoes for the best results, as they have a high starch content that makes them ideal for baking.
- Crispy Skin: For extra crispy skin, bake the potatoes without wrapping them in foil. Foil traps moisture, making the skin softer.
- Even Baking: Make sure the potatoes are similar in size so they cook evenly.
Variations:
- Garlic Herb Baked Potatoes: Rub the potatoes with minced garlic and dried herbs along with the olive oil for extra flavor.
- Cheesy Stuffed Potatoes: After baking, scoop out the insides and mix with shredded cheese, sour cream, and green onions. Stuff the mixture back into the skins and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Loaded Baked Potatoes: Top with sour cream, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives for a classic loaded potato.
