Potatoes, Potatoes, Potatoes!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAfter you have successfully cleaned and prepared the oven for baking potatoes, you will need to prepare potatoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scrub off the dirt from the potatoes\u2019 skin<\/strong> and make sure that there are no traces of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen the you’re done with cleaning you should dry them out with a clean towel or a cloth<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce clean and dry, rub oil on the potatoes\u2019 exterior<\/strong> until they become shiny as diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBaking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow that you have prepared both the oven and potatoes all that is left to do is baking them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, before putting them into the toaster oven, stab each potato with a fork on both sides<\/strong>. Be careful, you just want to pierce the potato and not rip through to the other side. If you don\u2019t do this, the steam from the potato won\u2019t be released and the potatoes could explode inside the toaster oven creating a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter this, put the potatoes inside the toaster oven<\/strong> placed on the toaster oven baking sheet or a rack<\/strong>, whatever you are using. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the next 45 minutes to 1 hour<\/strong>, you can do anything else while your potatoes are slowly baking in the toaster oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t need to be an expert chef to decide if the potatoes are done or not, simply stab them with the fork<\/strong> and if it slides easily<\/strong> through the biggest potato then your potatoes are baked<\/strong>. Another indicator is the light brown and crispy skin<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemove the entire rack or baking sheet from the toaster oven and prepare for some fluffing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fluffing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnce removed from the oven, don\u2019t wait for too much to fluff the potatoes. Fluffing is the process of steam removal from the potatoes<\/strong> and to do this, create some zig-zag cuts in the middle of your potatoes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you have made a pattern, put your thumbs on each end of the potato<\/strong> and press towards the center<\/strong>. Your potato will<\/strong> pop open and release the steam<\/strong>. Watch it out and then fluff the interior with a fork. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother fluffing method is called you can use is thwacking<\/strong>. Hold the potatoes<\/strong> in your hands and just thwack them against the table<\/strong> or cutting board<\/strong> a couple of times. This fluffs up the potato flesh and cracks it open.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpice It Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAdd a dash of salt and a bit of pepper at the top of the potatoes. Also, if you have those herbs with you, now is the best time to spice the potatoes with them. You can mix and try out whatever aroma and flavor you like, as everything only adds to the overall taste of the baked potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Related Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDo Baked Potatoes Cook Faster With or Without Foil?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBaked potatoes cook faster when wrapped in aluminum foil since the aluminum itself conducts heat and traps it. Your baked potatoes will also stay hot for longer once they are out of the oven. However, the foil will also leave you without crispy skin, and instead, you will get softer, steamed skin and boiled, rather than baked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
