What to do when you have an abundance of potatoes and you're busy trying to make deadlines on various and sundry over the weekend? Amazing baked potatoes, of course.
- Take baking (or otherwise) potatoes, clean and scrub. Stab a few times with your fork so you don't get any 'sploded potatoes.
- Douse with olive oil (nice and wet), generously coat with lemon pepper (Lawry's and Trader Joe's have a great one with salt, garlic, onion, lemon, and pepper).
- Bake in oven at 400F for about an hour (until they're pretty squishy with the fork and the skin seems kinda crusty). Flip them over in the middle of baking if you're concerned about evenness, and add extra time if you have a monster potato.
- Tear up in a bowl, douse with butter, sour cream, and any leftover pieces of bacon/smart bacon (fake'n) from breakfast. Douse with a very generous helping of salsa (I used Muir Glen cilantro salsa).
- Groan with delight.
Easy, super yum, lets you attend to other stuff with very minimal involvement. Way, way better than microwave.
