How Do You Make A Good Spud?
To make a good spud, start by selecting a high-quality potato, such as a russet. Scrub the potato well to remove any dirt, and pat it dry. Prick the potato with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape during baking. Rub the potato with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake the potato in a preheated oven at 400°F for about an hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, or chives.
