Crispy Baked Spuds Food

CRISPY BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Poke holes all around the potato with a corn-on-the-cob holder (or fork), then rub it with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put a metal skewer through the center of the potato lengthwise, put the potato in the oven and position a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drippings. Bake until the potato is cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Serve immediately with desired toppings.

CRISPY BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pierce 6 russet potatoes with a fork; rub with the oil. Bake on the top oven rack at 375 degrees F (put a baking sheet below to catch drippings) until tender, 50 minutes. Slice open and top with butter, salt, pepper and chives.

CRISPY BAKED SPUDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*F.
• In small dish combine lemon juice and butter.
• On plate combine parmesan, garlic salt, black pepper, and herbs, (if using).
• Cut the potato in half lengthwise.
• Brush cut surfaces of potato with lemon butter, then dip in parmesan mixture.
• Bake, cut sides down, on greased baking sheet, 30-35 minutes until tender and brown.

CRISPY GOLDEN SPUDS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pan, cover with cold water and add the bouillon powder or stock cubes, turmeric and bay leaves. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 mins until the potatoes start to soften on the outside but remain whole.
• Drain the potatoes well and give them a shake in the colander to rough up the edges, then leave to steam-dry in the colander for 5 mins. Meanwhile, pour the oil and duck or goose fat, if using, into your largest baking tray (the spuds will need plenty of space to really crisp up) and put in the oven underneath the turkey to heat for a few mins. Once the potatoes are dry, sprinkle with the flour and plenty of seasoning, then toss to coat. Can be frozen for up to 3 months - to cook from frozen, add an extra 20 mins to the cooking time.
• Remove the hot tray from the oven. Carefully tip in the potatoes and coat in the hot fat. Cook for 30 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6, on the lower shelf of the oven underneath the joint of meat, if making. When you take the joint or main meal out, turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Turn the potatoes over in the tray and continue cooking for 45 mins-1 hr longer on the top shelf, until golden and crispy.

CRISPY HERB BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375. Grease or line with foil and grease 15x10x1-inch baking pan or 13x9- inch pan. In medium bowl, combine potato flakes, Parmesan cheese and garlic salt; stir until well mixed. Dip chicken pieces into margarine; roll in potato flake mixture to coat. Place in greased pan. Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear.
• I used garlic powder instead of salt and boneless, skinless breasts and thighs instead of the entire chicken because that is what I had available.
