Stuffed Baked Potato Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n

Should I poke holes in my potato before I bake it?<\/h3> \r\nYes. Always poke a few holes in the skins of your potatoes with a fork before baking. Potatoes, especially smaller varieties, contain lots of moisture. As the potato bakes, the water converts to steam. A few quick jabs are all it takes to allow that steam to escape naturally from your baked potato recipes<\/a>. If too much water vapor pressure builds up inside your potato, you may end up with a messy spud explosion. You can also try slicing a cross-shape into your potatoes, about \u00bc inch thick, for supremely fluffy jacket potatoes<\/a>.\r\n\r\n

Do I have to wrap a potato in aluminum before I put it in the oven?<\/h3> \r\nThere\u2019s no need to wrap a potato in aluminum foil to bake it. Your best bet is to place it directly on the oven rack. Foil can trap steam, creating a potato with skin that is soggy instead of crisp. Unless a recipe specifically instructs to wrap a potato in foil, it's fine to skip it. \r\n\r\n\u2014 Amy Glander<\/a>, Book Editor","Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"These special stuffed baked potatoes are a hit with my whole family, from the smallest grandchild on up.

Stuffed Baked Potato Tips<\/h2>

Should I poke holes in my potato before I bake it?<\/h3> Yes. Always poke a few holes in the skins of your potatoes with a fork before baking. Potatoes, especially smaller varieties, contain lots of moisture. As the potato bakes, the water converts to steam. A few quick jabs are all it takes to allow that steam to escape naturally from your baked potato recipes<\/a>. If too much water vapor pressure builds up inside your potato, you may end up with a messy spud explosion. You can also try slicing a cross-shape into your potatoes, about 1\/4 inch thick, for supremely fluffy jacket potatoes<\/a>.

Do I have to wrap a potato in aluminum before I put it in the oven?<\/h3> There\u2019s no need to wrap a potato in aluminum foil to bake it. Your best bet is to place it directly on the oven rack. Foil can trap steam, creating a potato with skin that is soggy instead of crisp. Unless a recipe specifically instructs to wrap a potato in foil, it's fine to skip it. \u2014 Amy Glander, Book Editor"},{"TipType":"Variations","TipTitle":"","TipText":"Ranch Stuffed Baked Potatoes:<\/b> Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons ranch salad dressing mix into the sour cream before adding to the mashed potato pulp. Fold in 3 crumbled cooked bacon strips along with the cheese.
Tex-Mex Stuffed Baked Potatoes:<\/b> Omit green onions, 1\/4 cup butter and paprika. Stir in 1 can (4 ounces) drained chopped green chilies. Fold in 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese in place of the cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with chili powder if desired. <\/div>
Herb-Stuffed Baked Potatoes:<\/b> Stir in 2 tablespoons each<\/i> minced chives and parsley along with the green onion. Use 1 cup shredded mozzarella in place of cheddar cheese. <\/div>"},{"TipType":"Make Ahead","TipTitle":"","TipText":"<B>Editor's Note:<\/B> Potatoes may be stuffed ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen.
