- Serves:
- 4
- Preparation Time:
- 2 minutes
- Cooking Time:
- 1 hour
- Total Time:
- 1 hour 2 minutes
- Oven Temperature:
- 180° c - 360° f
Step 1: You will need…
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- sea salt
- 4 generous knobs butter, about 2 tablespoons each
- 1 bowl
- 1 fork
- kitchen roll
Step 2: Preheat the oven
Set the oven to 180ºC (350ºF/ gas mark 4).
Step 3: Wash the potatoes
Place the bowl of potatoes in the sink and rinse them well under a cold running tap, turning occasionally to ensure they are thoroughly clean.
Step 4: Dry the potatoes
Put a piece of kitchen roll onto a flat working surface, place the potatoes on top and pat them dry with a second piece of kitchen roll.
Step 5: Pierce the potatoes
Take a fork and pierce each potato 8-10 times, all over. This releases the moisture when cooking and stops them going soggy. Place them into a large bowl, pour over the oil and mix well with your hand. Sprinkle over a generous amount of salt and mix well once more.
Step 6: Bake
Place the potatoes in the centre of the oven on a wire rack and bake for 1 hour until they become crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft in the middle.
Place a baking tray underneath, prelined with foil to catch any drippings and to keep your oven nice and clean!
Step 7: Remove from the oven
Remove the potatoes when cooked and transfer them onto a large serving plate.
Step 8: Cut the potatoes
Make a long slit with a large knife across the potato but not completely to the edge. Then make a slit downwards, to create a cross. Push the potato together to open it up and add a generous knob of butter. Repeat with all four potatoes.
Step 9: Serve
Your potatoes can be served on their own or with a wide variety of toppings, like grated cheese or baked beans.

Tips & Comments
wow...thx for the vid...keep up the gud work...!!
!This recipe is quite! amazing!! and the end result with them potatoes is GReat and tasty..!!
bake potatoes in the microwave..takes only aout 10mins for big potatoes...the preparation is the same..i also use ground pepper with the salt as well...turns out really good..
this is yammy great recipes. well the butter is optional don't need to add too much and eat them on their own...
yammmmy ... it so delicious
haha add a generous NOB of butter (pisser)
It doesn't say cover in foil!? Anyway, after baking try scooping the potato out of the skin, mash with a fork mix in a little butter,salt and black pepper, spoon mixture back into skin and then add topping.
no! whatever you do, don't use foil! when you cover them in foil you are basically boiling them in their own sweat. If your happy with wet soggy potatoes do that, but if you want delicious potatoes with an amazing crispy jacket, then follow this video and DONT USE FOIL!!!
is best if u foil it up
If i eat those 4 potatoes by myself...i think i might DIE...
