The Cuisinart® Toaster Oven Broiler makes perfect baked potatoes with a fluffy interior and a crisp, papery skin.

Makes 4 servings

4 Idaho or russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)

Place rack in the Cuisinart® Toaster Oven Broiler in position “B” and preheat oven to 400°F on Convection Bake setting. Press “Start/Stop” button. Mean- while, wash and dry potatoes. Use the tines of a fork to prick potatoes in sev- eral places to allow steam to vent during baking. (Option: if you rub the skin with about 1/4 teaspoon of vegetable or olive oil before baking, the skin will be crisper and browner.) Place directly on rack in preheated oven and bake until soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Press “Start/Stop” but- ton. Remove potatoes from oven and slit with a sharp knife down the center to vent. To serve, pinch open the top to expose the flesh and fluff with a fork. Serve topped with butter, margarine or sour cream, as desired. (Convection baking will produce a slightly crispier skin than traditional heat.)

Variation: Substitute sweet potatoes or yams for white potatoes.

Directions for non-convection models:

Place rack in position “B” and preheat oven to 400°F on bake setting. Press “Start/Stop” button. Bake potatoes for about 55-60 minutes, until soft and easily pierced with a fork. Remove potatoes from oven and slit with a sharp knife down the center to vent. Serve as desired, with butter, margarine or sour cream.
