And no one knows better than the Barefoot Contessa<\/a> herself about how to take everyday favorites and prepare them in a way that's extra special and extra flavorful.\r\n\r\nHer baked potatoes have wonderfully crispy outsides seasoned with rosemary and thyme. She tops them with an easy, tangy whipped feta cheese blend that just melts into the tender insides of these potatoes. Paired with Ina's beef tenderloin<\/a>, what could be better than that?\r\n

What makes Ina's baked potatoes different?<\/h2>\r\nIna has two techniques that really make these baked potatoes stand out. The first is that she coats the entire potato with a blend of salt, zest and herbs to give the spuds a big boost of flavor. The second is she bakes her potatoes without any foil; the direct heat of the oven crisps up the oil and herb-coated potato skins while the insides become fluffy and tender.\r\n\r\nPotatoes as flavorful as these deserve more than just the usual pat of butter or spoonful of sour cream\u2014that's why Ina tops them with a rich whipped feta topping made with lemon juice and olive oil. The result is a baked potato that's incredibly indulgent, one that had my husband and me racing for seconds.\r\n

How to Make Ina Garten's Baked Potatoes<\/h2>\r\nIna's recipe makes four servings, one potato per serving. Plan for about an hour and 15 minutes total of prep and baking time.\r\n
