Savory Baked Potatoes Recipes

SAVORY BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400-degrees F.
• Scrub and dry the potatoes.
• Use a fork to poke each potato a half dozen places about 1/2" deep -- this will prevent them from blowing up in the oven which can happen sometimes!
• Rub each potato all over with olive oil and lay them out on a baking pan. Then sprinkle the kosher salt over them and rub it all over each potato. Not all of it will cling to the potato but that's okay.
• Bake the potatoes on the baking pan on the lower-middle oven rack for one hour and then check one for tenderness by inserting a sharp knife into the center. It should insert very easily and smooth. If you hit a solid center, give them 10 more minutes and check them again.
• After the potatoes come out of the oven, you can brush off as much of the salt as you wish (I leave it on and that way I don't have to salt my potato.).
• Top the potatoes with any or all of the following condiments unless you prefer it vegetarian-style: crisp and crumbled bacon, butter, sour cream and chives, sharp cheddar cheese. (Vegetarians may want to sprinkle on a little Mrs. Dash garlic blend seasoning.).

SAVORY ROASTED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Combine rosemary and next 4 ingredients; add to bag. Seal bag securely, and shake until potatoes are coated evenly. Spread potatoes in a single layer in an ungreased 15 x 10 x 1 inch jellyroll pan.
• Combine oil and Worcestershire sauce; drizzle over potatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
