Baked Potatoes
Why turn on the big oven just to bake potatoes when the toaster oven does such a good job?
Makes 4 servings
4Idaho or russet potatoes, (8 - 11ounces [230 - 315 g] each)
1teaspoon (5 ml) extra virgin olive oil
Place the rack in position B and preheat the toaster oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and dry. Lightly rub each potato with 1⁄4 teaspoon (1 ml) of the olive oil. Use a fork to prick potatoes, about 6 to 8 times. Place directly on the rack and bake until soft and easily pierced with a knife, about 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven.
To serve, pinch open the top, fluff the interior with a fork and serve topped with butter, extra virgin olive oil, margarine, or sour cream, as desired. Add kosher or sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Variation: Substitute sweet potatoes or yams for baking potatoes.
