Baking a potato is incredibly easy and requires almost no preparation at all, but it can take a bit of time - at least if you choose to bake the potato in the oven. However, it is also fine to bake potatoes both in the oven and in the microwave. You just need to make sure you buy the right type of potato for the right occasion.
Baked potato recipe
To make the perfect baked potato, only two things are required, namely: baking potato and an oven or microwave.
Do this to bake potatoes in the oven
Start by rinsing the potatoes (1 per person) and make sure to dry them completely. Then cut a small slit in the middle of the potato so they don't explode in the oven. Bake the potatoes in the oven for about 50 minutes at 225 degrees.
Do this to bake potatoes in the microwave
Gör exakt samma förberedelser som när du ska baka potatisen i ugn. Ställ sedan micron på full effekt och sätt timern på 10 minuter. Efter tio minuter kan du ta ut potatisen och kolla om den är klar, oftast krävs ytterligare cirka 5-7 minuter.
Serving tips!
Take the potatoes out of the oven or microwave and cut a cross on top of the potato and press so that the skin splits. One tip is to wrap the potato in foil so that you don't burn yourself as easily.
