Dads Baked Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Scrub your potatoes and slice each potato into 1/2-inch rounds, but keep them together in the potato shape.
• Place one potato on each foil square and top with one onion round each, and then the butter pat on top of the onion (the size of your pat of butter is up to you, but mine are about 1 1/2 tablespoons each.
• Now the fun part. I line up all of my spices in front of me and shake on as much as I like to each potato. Be very liberal--potatoes can take a lot of flavor.
• Then put each foil square in front of you with the potato lengthwise. Grab the front flap and the back flap and pull them together over the potato and then roll them down together until you get close to the potato. Then grab the sides and roll them upward so that none of the butter spills out during baking.
• Place them on a baking sheet in a 350-375° oven for about an hour, depending on how big your potatoes are and how thick you sliced them. You can check their doneness by sliding a knife into one through the foil--if it goes in smoothly, it's done.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rub the potatoes with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until the insides are soft and the outsides are crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes (the baking time will depend on the size of your potatoes).
• Carefully split the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the contents into the bowl of a stand mixer (reserve the potato skins on the baking sheet). Add the blue cheese, hot sauce, cream cheese, jalapenos and some salt and pepper to the mixer bowl and mix until combined using the paddle attachment.
• Spoon the mixture into the potato skins, then top with the Cheddar. Bake until the contents are warmed through and the Cheddar is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drizzle the potatoes with the ranch dressing and top with the chopped chives. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Scrub the potato, and pierce the skin several times with a knife or fork. Rub the skin with olive oil, then with salt.
• Place the potato in the preheated oven, and bake for 90 minutes, or until slightly soft and golden brown. Slice the potato down the center, and serve with butter and black pepper. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top, if desired.
