Simple Baked Potato
A straightforward recipe to make perfectly baked potatoes.
Ingredients
- butter (4 tablespoons)
- olive oil (2 teaspoons)
- garlic powder (1.5 teaspoons)
- salt (0 )
- ground black pepper (0 )
- potatoes (6 medium)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Use a fork to poke about 5 holes into each potato. Place each potato on a sheet of aluminum foil about 6 inches wide. Brush butter mixture over potatoes, making sure to evenly coat each one. Wrap up completely in foil. Poke 5 more holes into the wrapped potatoes.
- Bake potatoes in the center of the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Spread leftover butter mixture over potatoes after cutting them open.
