When you ask how to cook a baked potato, you will get many different answers. Some just throw the potatoes in the oven plain, some roll them in oil, some with oil and salt and some people wrap them in foil to bake.

BAKED POTATOES IN BUTTER

• 6 Medium potatoes, peeled


• 4 Tablespoons melted butter


• Salt to taste

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Melt the butter in a baking pan. Brush the potatoes with the melted butter, covering the entire potatoes. Bake uncovered, basting and turning potatoes every 15 minutes until potatoes are tender and golden brown. (Can also sprinkle with paprika, onion powder, parsley or other seasonings)

TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Preheat oven to 400F degrees.

Wash potatoes with fresh clear water and dry thoroughly. Rub skins of potatoes with butter and place in a baking pan. Bake for about 1 hour (more or less depending on size) or until potatoes are tender.

When potatoes are tender, cut a slice off the top of the potato lengthwise to make a deep shell. Scoop out the insides of the potatoes and put in a bowl. Add hot milk, butter, salt and pepper and beat until fluffy as you would mashed potatoes. Spoon potato mixture back into the shells. Sprinkle with paprika, crumbled cooked bacon, chives and grated cheese. Return potatoes to the oven until the cheese melts.
