Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make potatoes with skins in the oven? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. 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. In the store, the names of the varieties are not written on the price tags, so be guided by the color of the pulp: the lighter it is, the more starch it contains and the faster the potatoes will cook.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and scrub thoroughly with a brush to remove all the soil. Dry the tubers. It is better to take large potatoes, it is more convenient to prepare them for baking and they look more impressive.

Step 3

Step 3
Using a fork, scratch grooves along the entire length of each potato, trying to make them deeper. The deeper the furrows are, the tastier and more textured the finished potatoes will be.

Step 4

Step 4
Using your hands, rub the salt, pepper and herbs into the potatoes. I have Italian herbs in the grinder along with sea salt, so I didn’t use any additional salt. You can replace these spices with a ready-made potato spice mix.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish or on a small baking sheet. Pour vegetable oil into the pan until it covers the entire bottom. Any vegetable oil will do. I have sunflower.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the potatoes in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20-30 minutes. Then carefully turn the baked potato over so the browned side is facing up. Return the pan to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown on the other side. The exact baking time depends on the size, type of potatoes and the features of your oven. The potatoes should be soft inside. Read about the operation of different ovens in the article at the end of the recipe.

Serve the finished potatoes immediately, supplemented with fresh herbs and vegetables. Bon appetit!
