How to make baked or baked potatoes
It is a very simple recipe that does not merit much time, effort or ingredients. Potatoes are an ideal food to combine with meals as they are a great source of calories for the body. Therefore, to make this delicious dish you just have to follow the following steps.
- We place to preheat the oven to 180 degrees while washing the potatoes and preparing them.
- We take 5 large potatoes and we will wash them very well. It is important that we remove all the dirt they may have, so we will wash them with plenty of water 1 time only.
- When they are clean we will proceed to cut them. We can make the cut that we like most for potatoes, for example, we can chop them into thick slices which is a more traditional way (but also in wedges, in half, in pieces or even whole if they are potato baby). Removing the shell, shell or skin is optional, everything is to your liking, but in this recipe, we will make them peeled (and they can be washed a second time just in case they have any dirty and to remove starch). You can use the potato peel or with the knife.

- When we have everything ready we will place the chopped potatoes in a bowl and there we will season them. We take the salt, pepper and garlic powder and pour it in the form of rain for all the potatoes and add the oil. With the help of a trowel, we will stir so that all the potatoes are impregnated.
- When everything is well mixed, place the potatoes in a container or, alternatively, directly, baking sheet. In the case that it is in an oven tray, the surface where the potatoes are placed should be well oiled or put these on onion or aluminum type kitchen paper. It is important that we distribute them well and take them to the oven for about 20 or 30 minutes or until they are well cooked. When half the time has passed we can open the oven and stir to have even cooked (not mandatory). If we see them very dry we can lower the oven power and/or add fat such as butter or oil. With a toothpick, we puncture them and verify that they are well cooked.
Once ready you can serve them as an accompaniment or first course. I recommend adding some green spice such as chopped parsley that gives a very nice touch and for the taste, a bit of Parmesan comes exceptional (try Parmesan to rectify salt although this cheese is already salty). Finally, another incredible touch is to squirt oil (it is not necessary if you are going to serve with potato sauce).
