wat is the best way to make baked potatoes so theyr nice and crispy?

Answer 1

Rub them with a little olive oil and stick a metal skewer through the centre. Bake in a nice hot oven for about 45 mins. (The skewer will help them cook well in the centre)

Answer 2

I put a standard sized baking potato in the microwave about 10 minutes on high. When I take it out it is done and a little crispy around the edges.

Answer 3

Try the following

Jacket Potatoes
2 large Desirée potatoes, 8-10 oz (225-275 g) each
a little olive oil
rock salt, crushed
a little butter
salt and freshly milled black pepper

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375°F (190°C).

First you need to wash the potatoes and dry them very thoroughly with a cloth, then leave them aside to dry as much as possible. If you're using ready-washed potatoes you need not do this, as the high heat will purify them. Next, prick the skins a few times with a fork, then put a few drops of olive oil over each one and rub it all over the skin. After that, rub in some crushed salt – this will draw out the moisture from the skin and, together with the oil, provide more crunchiness.

Now place the potatoes straight on to the centre shelf of the oven and let them bake for 1¾-2 hours, or until the skins are really crisp. When you are ready to serve, slit each potato in half lengthways and top with the butter and seasoning. Serve immediately because, after you remove jacket potatoes from the oven, they lose their crispness very quickly, so don't let them hang around.

Hi there Marlene !

Peel them - partially boil them for about 15 mins - whilst doing this heat some oil in your dish in the oven about 180 deg C.

After 15 mins drain the potatoes off and put into the hot oil - now for the magic bit - get a fork and score each potato as much as you can and then put in the oven at 180 deg C for about 45 mins to an hour.

Answer 5

Everyone likes my potatoes so here goes. Peel a few medium size potatoes, wash well and dry. Place in a bowl and drizzle some good olive oil over them. Not too much just enough to coat them. Then add Rosemary, sage and a few Aniseeds and cut up slivers of garlic. Mix well to make sure the potatoes aere coated well. Place in a teflon dish and place in oven on high heat. Turn oven off when they are golden brown, Yummy..

Answer 6

Mmmmm the best way is to peel and cut to size and par boil (about 10- 15 mins) heat up oil so piping hot in a deep baking tray (about 2-3 cms)
Once pots boiled drain well and cover lightly in semolina pop straight into the hot oil and bake in oven until crispy.
Be careful of the hot oil!
but the pots will be lovely!

Answer 7

I always put a bit of oil in by roasting thin sprinkle a little bit of salt on them then turn them half way throw, i cook my potatoes in water first for 20Min's an they go lovely an crispy roast for 45 mins on gas mark 5 .

Answer 8

I usually put them into the oven when they are wet. Give them a good wash, but don't dry them ... somehow the heat makes the skin crispy .... and the inside soft!! Always do my potato's this way.

Answer 9

When we have baked potatoes ( i hope you mean roast) i par boiled them for 15 Min's, then i put them into a tray of hot fat in the oven on number 9, for about 30 Min's, turning them over halfway through. When cooked i then drain them on some kitchen paper. Result lovely crispy roasts.
