Yours portly is worn out after the second week of school, so I’m keeping it quick today: I’m sharing a video of some baked potatoes—and the recipe for making them yourself.
I found a super-easy recipe for baked potatoes. Here’s the quick version, and it does not require aluminum foil:
Ingredients: russet potatoes, cooking spray, seasonings (optional)
Prep and cooking time: ~65-75 minutes
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
- Wash and dry potatoes
- Poke holes into the potatoes with a fork (I liberally peppered the spuds with holes)
- Spray a pan with cooking oil
- Roll the potatoes around in the oil
- My addition: season the oiled spuds with pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, etc.—whatever you like!
- Bake in over for one hour
- Remove and let cool slightly—but serve hot!
I found that this easy recipe made potatoes that had a nice skin and fluffy, flavorful insides. I didn’t even use butter and sour cream, and one of these potatoes eaten plain was delicious.
So, naturally, I made a video gawking at my lovely spuds:

I should have cut into them. But I’m drooling looking at these spuds again!
Happy Friday!

If you want a decent jacket spud meal, eat with melted cheese and butter, and cram with fried onions and bacon. You can even roll the cooked spuds in the onion and bacon juices for extra flavour.

Ooooh, baby! I’ve gotta try that. When I go to a restaurant and get a baked potato, I love it with butter and sour cream. There are some places that do loaded spuds as an entire meal, and those are my favorite—jam-packed with cheese, bacon, ham, veggies, etc.

I should add that Tina does the best roast potatoes known to man. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Mmmm! 😄
I’d eat a whole plate of just those covered in gravy!

Those sound delicious! If Dr. F and I ever get over to England, I’d love to try Tina’s roast potatoes!

Crikey! All this talk of food is making me hungry. A gravy meal tomorrow night I reckon – shepherd’s pie, with savoy cabbage and gravy – but tonight it’s got to be donner meat, chips and cheese! Finger lickin’ good! 😄

Ooooh, man—shepherd’s pie! That all sounds so good. I got hungry, too—I ate my lunch about a half-hour earlier than usual! : D
