🥔 Fast Baked Potatoes (Oven Method)
⏱️ Time:
About 35–45 minutes (faster than traditional baking)
🧾 Ingredients:
2–4 medium potatoes (Russet works best)
1–2 tbsp olive oil
Salt (to taste)
Optional: pepper, garlic powder, butter, cheese, sour cream
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat oven
Set your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Prep potatoes
Wash and scrub them clean
Pat dry
Pierce each potato 4–5 times with a fork
Season
Rub each potato with olive oil
Sprinkle salt all over the skin
Speed trick 🔥
Microwave the potatoes for 5–7 minutes first (this cuts baking time in half!)
Bake
Place directly on oven rack or tray
Bake for 20–30 minutes until skin is crispy
Check doneness
Insert a knife or fork — it should slide in easily
