HALF BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and pierce the meat using a fork or knife. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While preheating oven add 3-4 tablespoons butter or margarine to a baking sheet or baking dish and melt in oven (for 4 potato halves, you should have a liberal amount of butter or margarine coating the bottom).
• When butter is melted remove pan and add a liberal amount of garlic salt. Add parsley, and place potatoes face down in butter.
• Bake until potatoes are tender and meat of potato is browned (approximately 35-40 minutes for medium sized Russet Potatoes).
• Can be done in Microwave (approximately 15 minutes but check frequently).

AIR FRYER BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the potatoes with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until evenly coated.
• Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F, then place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Cook until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, flipping halfway through, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Cut each potato in half lengthwise and season with a pinch of salt. Top with Cheddar, sour cream and scallions.

HALF-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF. While oven heats, scrub potatoes under cold water, dry with a towel and pierce a few times on each side with a fork. Place potatoes on a microwavable plate and microwave for 6 minutes, turning halfway through the process.
• Brush potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt, pressing it gingerly against the potatoes (be careful, they are already hot). Bake on an open oven rack, with a lined baking sheet on a rack below (we like using our nonstick Cookina baking sheet liners, but foil or parchment will also work); the potatoes will drip just a little oil or moisture from the pierced potato itself, and you don't want this to burn onto the oven floor.
• Bake potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, until they pierce easily with a sharp knife and the skins are crisp. Serve with your favorite potato toppings.
