Can anyone from the restaurant industry tell me, do I have to poke holes before baking a potato? Will it actually explode?
If that's true, is there any better way to do it rather than stabbing it with a fork or knife? Some potatoes it's easy, but harder potatoes like sweet potatoes, I swear I get like 1/4 of an inch into it and that's it.
How many holes should I poke into a potato til it's good to bake?
Thanks spud friends!
Haven't worked in a restaurant in over 20 years (and yes we baked potatoes on-site). We didn't poke them then, but I do at home now. All they way around, and then I brush on a mixture of olive oil, garlic salt and black pepper - wrapped in foil, they're divine.
