Oven-Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 medium potatoes, scrubbed
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 200 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements.
2
Next, place a portion of butter in a microwave-safe container and heat it on maximum power until fully liquidated, taking between 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a savory blend.
3
Using a fork, make small holes in each potato by pricking them about five times. Position each spud on a sheet of aluminum foil measuring around 6 inches in width. Generously apply the melted butter mixture over each potato, ensuring they are evenly coated. Wrap the potatoes completely in foil to create a sealed package. Make additional holes in the wrapped potatoes for steam release.
4
Place the potatoes in the center of your preheated oven and bake until they can be easily pierced with a fork, taking approximately one hour. Once cooked, spread the leftover butter mixture over the potatoes after cutting them open.
