How to Make Amazing Baked Potatoes
The first step to making these delicious BBQ turkey stuffed baked potatoes is making an amazing baked potato. But making a good baked potato is more than just tossing a potato in the oven. To make a great stuffed baked potato, you need to take the time to prep the potato first. Here’s my method for making an amazing baked potato:
- Scrub the potato clean and dry the skin completely.
- Rub the skin with olive oil and season with salt.
- Pierce the potato with a fork on the top and bottom.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and place the potatoes directly on the oven rack.
- Bake for 45 minutes, flipping the potato halfway through.
After your potato is baked through, it’s time to start stuffing! First, season the potato with salt and parsley, then add some butter. Stir the ingredients together inside the skin, being careful not to pierce the skin as you mix.
When the butter has been mixed well into the potato, top with with cheese.
