Spicy Garlic Seasoned Crispy Baked Potatoes

Created by Kchurchill5 on February 4, 2013

Step 1: Garlic Oil ... Add the garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, and rosemary sprig to the oil and simmer for 5 minutes on low heat. Then let it cool.
Step 2: Potatoes ... Wash, dry, and poke each potatoes 2-3 times with a fork. Then, rub or brush the potatoes lightly with the cooled olive oil; then, season with plenty of salt and pepper. I like to mix the salt and pepper together first. If you season them over a paper towel, any extra that falls off, you can re-use. Make sure season them well.
Step 3: Bake ... Add them to a small baking sheet lined with foil; or, just a piece of foil directly on the oven rack (which is what I do). Bake on the middle shelf in a 350 degree oven for 45-60 minutes. Half way during cooking, flip the potatoes over. If the potatoes are extra large, they may take a bit longer. They are done when they are fork tender. Stick a knife in the center, and if it comes out easily, they are done.
Step 4: Serve ... One potato per person; or, I often prepare extra large potatoes but cut them in half and plate 1/2 per person. Top with butter, sour cream, and chives. ENJOY! And don't forget ... the skin is the best part!
