Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush each potato generously with the garlic-infused olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
- Place the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. You can check their readiness by poking them with a fork; they should be soft on the inside.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Slice them open, fluff the insides with a fork, and serve hot. You can add extra toppings like butter, sour cream, herbs, chives, or cheese if desired.
Tips:
- Choose uniformly-sized potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- To get a crispy exterior, make sure to evenly coat the potatoes with olive oil.
- If you prefer fresh garlic, finely mince 2-3 cloves and mix them with the olive oil instead of using garlic powder.
- Feel free to add other herbs such as rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Check the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are tender before removing them from the oven.
