A dish which can either be served as a main dish by itself with delicious add-ons, or as a side with creamy tomato soup, garlic bread and grilled chicken!!!

Ingredients:

Baking potatoes (Idaho potatoes work great) - 4 nos. w/uniform shape & size to ensure even cooking
Salt- to taste
Olive oil- approx. 1 Tbsp. per potato

For the add-ons:

Scallions - 4 finely chopped
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Sour Cream - approx. 2 Tbsp. per potato

Preparation:

Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
Using a fork or a sharp knife pierce the potato 4 times on each side at 1" intervals.
Sprinkle the salt and drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Make sure the skins are well coated.
Individually wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil.
Arrange on baking tray and Bake in 375 degree pre-heated oven for approx 45 minutes.
To check if potatoes are Perfectly baked gently press them in the middle either with a clean kitchen towel or a mitt. When done the potatoes will be soft and the oven will smell of yummy potatoes!!!
If the potatoes are still hard when you gently press them , pop them back in the oven for a few more minutes until the middle is soft. Baking times depend on each oven.
When you are ready to eat, discard the aluminium foil cover, split the potato skin with a knife. Sprinkle some salt and pepper, top with a dollop of sour cream and chopped scallions.
The potato will be light, flaky and creamy. In combination with the sour cream & scallions it will be a potato lover's dream come true!!!
