The Perfect Baked Potato


     Okay so I don't really have a recipe for this, but it's super simple so it totally doesn't need one.  First, preheat your oven to 425°.  Next, scrub your potatoes really well...nobody wants to eat dirt.  Now get all the frustration out that you may have stored up this week by stabbing the potatoes with a knife.  Make sure the holes are pretty deep.
     Get out some olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a jelly roll pan.  Pour a *little* bit of olive oil on each potato.  Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Rub into the potato to coat the entire thing.  Hope ya don't mind getting your hands dirty ;)


     Place each of the potatoes on your jelly roll pan.  No need to grease it, you've already got plenty of olive oil on the spuds.


     Bake for 45 to 60 minutes.  No specific baking time, it depends on the size of the potatoes.  If you have ginormous ones, it'll take a little longer.  Just bake them until they are tender inside.  I always check them by poking them with a butter knife.  If it goes in easily, they're usually good!


     Yum yum yum!  They have a perfectly crisped skin and nice tender insides.  Delicious :)





Happy cooking friends!
