I really do. When I gave my brother a choice of baked or fried potatoes with dinner and he chose baked, I certainly couldn’t argue it.
So easy, so simple, so good. Prep time of a whole 2 minutes of washing them off, poking them a couple times with a fork and tossing in a pan. An hour in the oven at 400 degrees and that’s that. Even twice baked are easy, another 5 minutes of mashing them up and a couple minutes back under the broiler.
They’re healthy (even with toppings – just don’t use an entire pint of sour cream) and easy and one of my favorite sides.
All hail the lovely baking potato!
