Jacket potatoes in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake whole jacket potatoes in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. For baking, you need to choose the right potatoes, because there are varieties that will remain raw inside even after an hour in the oven. Focus on the color of the pulp: the lighter it is, the more starch it contains and the faster the potatoes will cook. You can replace dried thyme and rosemary with fresh sprigs. The dish will only benefit from this, since the aroma of fresh herbs is stronger

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and scrub with a brush. If the potatoes are young, be careful not to remove the outer, tender skin. If the potatoes are from an old harvest, it is better to pierce them on all sides with a fork or toothpick. Turn on the oven to 200 degrees.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the garlic and cut lengthwise into 2-3 pieces to form petals.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the potatoes in a baking dish or on a small baking sheet. Pour olive oil on top. Place the potatoes in an oven preheated to 200°C for 20 minutes. If you have dense potatoes with a hard crust, it is better to cover the pan with foil. This way it will bake faster inside. After 20 minutes, remove the potatoes and pierce each tuber with a toothpick. The top should be soft, but the middle should remain elastic.

5. STEP 5

   

   Turn the tubers over. Using a brush, brush the tubers with olive oil from the bottom of the pan. Top the potatoes with sea salt and dried herbs. Place garlic and bay leaves around the potatoes. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until tender. If the potatoes are not cooked well, cover the pan with foil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the finished potatoes on a plate, pour the remaining olive oil with herbs and garlic over the pan and serve hot. Bon appetit!

This recipe for whole baked jacket potatoes attracted me with a delicious photo. And I just needed something as a side dish, but I was already tired of everything, and I think I found the perfect side dish. Quick and simple. I chose an interesting shape for the potatoes to make it even more beautiful, washed it with a hard sponge, transferred it to a foil pan, and then everything followed strictly according to the recipe. For my oven, the time indicated in the recipe is exact, I didn’t change a minute less or a minute more, and I didn’t change the temperature either. The recipe from A to Z is precise. Although this depends on your oven, the variety and size of the potato. The jacket potatoes were well baked, there was a pleasant aroma of garlic and bay leaf. Delicious spicy baked potatoes, an unusual side dish, and it would be just as delicious with a salad. Thank you.

I really liked this recipe for jacket potatoes in the oven! It turned out as if baked, only with the aroma of rosemary, not fire). I chose approximately the same tubers so that they would cook evenly. I washed them well and, just in case, soaked them in water for an additional 10 minutes to remove any possible dirt. Then I washed it again, dried it, pricked it with a knife and put it in a mold. I poured vegetable oil over the potatoes so that each tuber was greased. I baked for 20 minutes, after which I turned the potatoes over with tongs and spread out the garlic and bay leaves. Topped with dried rosemary and a mixture of peppers. Bake for another 20 minutes. The potatoes have acquired a golden crust. The aroma of garlic and rosemary is simply stunning! The potatoes are very tasty!

Should I eat it with the peel? Or the peel needs to be peeled. When boiling potatoes in their jackets, the skins are peeled. And here?
