Nuke's Atomic Baked Potatoes
sometimes you want to feel like you're in a skyrim tavern taking shelter from the cold and paying the bard to shut the fuck up. maybe you just have some potatoes sitting around and wanna make em go prompt nuclear. well boy do i have the recipe for you
i love baked potatoes but i've seen so many people make them with no love. no soul. they just toss that bitch in the oven. happily enjoying dry potato covered in toppings to make it palatable. i say NO MORE. here's how to make the most bangin baked potato you'll ever have. it's soft and buttery and goes crazy with cheese but you can add whatever you want. there are no limits. set yourself free
ingredience:
-potato
-cooking oil
-salt
-butter
-the toppings of your dreams
let's go
preheat oven to 350F. sorry europeans
stab the potato with a fork. make sure the fork goes at least 2cm in but there's no such thing as too deep. stab it all over. make sure to get all sides and both ends, but don't overdo it
fill a mixing bowl with water and add salt until it tastes like the sea. if you don't want to taste saltwater you can just eyeball it. stir with a wooden spoon until the water is clear. put in the potato and wait for 10 minutes
take out the potato and dry it with a paper towel. put it in the microwave for 3 minutes on each side. you can adjust the time based on how big your potato is
once it's done in the microwave, take the potato out with kitchen tongs because it will be HOT. brush it with oil and salt the entire outside, including the ends
NOW toss that bitch in the oven for 20 minutes on each side. if either side is still oily after both turns, give the side(s) 5 more minutes
put the potato on a plate and cut it evenly in half lengthwise
take your knife and cut slits in the potato's flesh down to the peel (but don't cut the peel itself). make sure you cut in a grid, like crosshatching.
spread butter on the potato to your preference and salt both halves. it should melt easily and drip into the cuts you made.
add whatever else you want. i just add cheddar cheese and it's perfect, but go crazy with whatever you want to put on top. the texture will be creamy with a crispy skin.
and that's it!!! as an irishman by blood i approve of this recipe wholeheartedly and i think some of you guys might love it too. maybe. if u want. if u like me
