It is necessary
-
- large potatoes 4 pcs;
- sea salt;
- olive oil;
- butter;
- ground black pepper.
Instructions
Step 1
Take large potatoes. Pay attention - it should be free of "sores", rot and other things that spoil its appearance. Rinse the potatoes under cold water, use a brush (not hard, so as not to damage the skin): remove the rest of the soil completely. Pierce each root vegetable with a fork over the entire surface with a distance of one and a half to two centimeters between the punctures.
Step 2
Brush the potatoes with olive oil. Make sure that it penetrates into all openings from the plug. Then rub the roots with coarse sea salt. At this stage, you can add garlic if you want - peel it, chop it finely or use a garlic press. Rub the garlic over the potatoes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to one hundred and ninety degrees (depending on the size of the potatoes, the temperature can range from 180 to 200 degrees). Place the root vegetables on a wire rack in the center of the oven and bake for about two hours until crisp (time can also vary - from one and a half to two hours).
Step 4
Remove the cooked potatoes from the oven. Cut it in half lengthwise (not all the way - leave the rind underneath as a link). Loosen the pulp inside with a fork, put a piece of butter (ten to fifteen grams) on top. Wait until it is completely absorbed into the potatoes, then add salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve potatoes right away - as it cools, it loses the appetizing crunch of the peel and softens from the oil.
