Old-School Baked Potatoes



A while ago I was cooking chicken corn cream soup and was thinking of what carb dish would go great with it. Since I was bored with mashed potato already and thought that making another dish that contains milk would make the whole meal tastes so milky, I thought "why not make baked potato!?"

I searched for a recipe in Allrecipes and made some additions to it.

Ingredients:
  • Potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Ground hot chillies
  • Black or white pepper
  • Shredded cheddar cheese and butter

How to make:
  • Scrub the potatoes' skin with sponge. Clean it off from the dirt.
  • Make holes with fork to enable steam to come out from the potatoes while it's being baked
  • Rub each potatoes with olive oil
  • Sprinkle salt, ground hot chillies, and pepper
  • Bake in the oven (175 degrees C) for 1.5 hour
  • While it's still hot, slice it in half and stuff it with shredded cheese. Put it back in the oven and let it melt.

Note:
  • To melt the cheese, you don't need to turn on the oven again. It will melt with the heat after the baking process.
This baked potato is awesome! The skin is crispy and the ground hot chillies made the potatoes taste even better! Hope you enjoy this recipe!
