| 1 |
Get one
large or two medium size potatoes (not new potatoes) per person. |
| 2 |
Put your
oven on to 190C to heat up. |
| 3 |
Scrub the
potatoes clean, dig out any black bits or other dodgy looking
bits. |
| 4 |
Dry off
the potatoes thoroughly. |
| 5 |
Put them
onto a backing tray, puncture some holes in the skin with a
fork. |
| 6 |
You can
rub a little olive oil onto the potato for extra flavour and
crispiness. |
| 7 |
When your
oven is up to temperature put in the baking tray on the middle
shelf and bake for about one and a half hours. |
| 8 |
Check
your potato to see if its cooked by stabbing it with a sharp
knife. If the knife comes out easily and smoothly the potato
is cooked. You can also check by squeezing the potato. |
| 9 |
Cut open
your potato and cover with your choice of topping. |
