Recipe Baked Potatoes Amish Cooking Recipes

Choose a mealy potato for baking. Some varieties tend to become watery. I prefer the Idaho, Irish Cobbler, or Mine baking potato. Scrub potatoes thoroughly and prick the skin twice to keep them from exploding in the oven. Bake potatoes in a preheated 375° F oven for 1 hour. Serve with fresh butter, salt, and pepper. Many people enjoy sour cream and chives with their baked potatoes. Chives should be added to the sour cream before serving. The baked skin is so crisp and should be eaten with butter, salt, and pepper. I do not like a baked potato that has been wrapped in foil because when using foil, the skin gets soft.
