Ingredients:

4 potatoes
850g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 tsp garlic powder
6g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- 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.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- 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.
4. Bake the Potatoes:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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, 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.
