A quick and easy recipe for a crispy baked potato, perfect for a satisfying meal or side dish.
Poke the potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
This prevents the potato from bursting while cooking.
Place the potato in the microwave and cook on high for about 8 minutes, turning it halfway through.
Microwaving the potato first speeds up the cooking process.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (Gas Mark 6).
Preheating ensures even cooking.
Brush the potato with olive oil to coat it evenly.
This helps the skin crisp up in the oven.
Place the potato on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Baking after microwaving gives the potato a crispy skin.
Remove the potato from the oven and slice it open with a cross-cut.
Be careful as the potato will be hot.
Add your favorite toppings and serve warm.
Classic toppings include butter, sour cream, or shredded cheese.
