A nasty little stomach bug knocked me down this past week and now that I’m up and eating again, the only food I can stomach is a crispy baked potato. I top it with a blend of olive oil and greek yogurt then sprinkle with sea salt, pepper and lots of chives. It’s my come-back-to-life meal.
Steakhouse Baked Potato
Makes 1
1 russet potato
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt, to taste
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Scrub the potato under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pierce several times with a fork or knife. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly salt all over. This extra step guarantees a crispy skin.
When your oven reaches temperature, place your potato directly on the rack. No foil needed! Bake until the skin is crispy and the insides soft and fluffy, about 1 hour 25 minutes. Top as desire.
If you love a baked potato, check out this great party idea.
Tell me, what’s your favorite get better food?

I too crisp with olive oil. Cut soft corn tortilla shells into fours, spray olive oil on both sides, salt one, bake for 15 min @ 400 degrees. Serve with pine nut/basil/garlic pesto. Voila’ tortilla chips. Great for when the crunchy munchies hit, without guilt.
Thank you for your tip, am going to try this weekend!

@Vanessa, where did you have potatoes in the fire? Camping? I’ve always dreamed of that particular Farmer Boy experience, preferably without one bursting and burning my eye : )
