Recreate campfire baked potatoes with just your oven
Baked potatoes from a fire have a unique, smoky flavor. Can this be recreated at home? Not entirely, but with this method, they'll taste remarkably similar. It's incredible how simple it is to prepare these potatoes.
Baked potatoes are not just a great addition to many dishes. When prepared this way, they're so delicious you can serve them with just one sauce, and everyone will be delighted. Potatoes with a flavor reminiscent of those cooked over a campfire evoke memories of summer evenings with just one bite.
Baked potatoes with a crispy skin
Nothing compares to potatoes wrapped in foil and thrown into a fire. They have crispy skin, and inside, they're soft and almost creamy. For many, baked potatoes are a nostalgic reminder of childhood, eaten with pleasure during summer evenings. You can relive that taste without lighting a fire, as everything can be prepared in the oven.
To recapture those childhood memories, you need just three ingredients: salt, potatoes, and all-purpose flour. The flour makes the skin crispy and reminiscent of campfire flavors.
These potatoes will be a fantastic addition to many meat dishes, but they can also stand alone as a dish with a fried egg. The preparation is incredibly simple and requires minimal effort, yet the result is astonishingly tasty.
Baked potatoes like from a fire
Ingredients:
- 1.5-2 lbs of potatoes (or as much as you need for your family)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
Preparation method:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing the skin. Do not peel them, even if they're not new potatoes. It's best to choose small or medium-sized ones.
- In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with salt and add the still wet potatoes.
- Cover the bowl with a plate and shake well to thoroughly coat the potatoes with flour.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the potatoes on it.
- Bake them in an oven preheated to 400°F for about 1 hour, checking the softness with a fork. Depending on the size of the potatoes, the baking time may increase slightly.
- After baking, take out the potatoes and transfer them to a plate. Do not add more salt, as there is enough in the coating. After cutting the potato, you can add a bit of butter to enhance the flavor further.
