Elegant Baked Potatoes Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes.
• Cut, crosswise, into thin slices, using the handle of a wooden spoon to prevent knife from cutting all the way through.
• Put potatoes in a baking dish; fan slightly. Drizzle with butter.
• Sprinkle with salt and herbs.
• Bake potatoes in 425°F (220°C) oven for 50 minutes.
• Remove from oven.
• Sprinkle with cheeses.
• Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until lightly browned and cheeses are melted.

Steps:

• NOTE: Depending on the size of your potatoes is how much of the other ingredients you will need. If the potatoes tend to be more medium-sized than large, start with the smaller amounts.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Pierce potatoes, rub the potatoes with oil, sprinkle with the coarse salt, and bake 1 hour or until tender when tested. Set the oven to broil.
• In a small pan, heat the butter and milk, but do not boil.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp. Mash, until creamy, with the butter/milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cheese and tarragon.
• Place the potatoes into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe back into the shells.
• Broil the potatoes until the top is just golden brown, about 1-2 minutes, depending on your broiler.
