Baked Potato
I know it seems like a really simple one but still something I think is worth a few moments to review considering the baked potato is not only a staple side dish in American Cuisine but also in many recipes a key starting ingredient. So I thought I would share my thoughts on this simple yet tasty subject.

Ingredient List
- Russet Potato
- Salt – Pinch
- Pepper – Pinch
- Olive Oil
Step 1: Wash Potato – Personally I feel that Russet Potatoes make the best baked potato based on size and density, but you can bake any type of potato you wish although the times will be either longer or shorter depending. Yams or sweet potatoes will be longer, while red or yellow potatoes will be a little bit shorter. Before using any vegetable one must always wash it thoroughly.
Step 2: Prep for cooking – With a fork poke holes around entire potato to allow it to get some air to the center. Next rub olive oil over entire outside surface. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper
Step 3: Bake – Preheat Oven to 350, place potato in a roasting pan. Let roast for 45-55 minutes. Potato should be soft to squeeze if done.
