Simple Oven Baked Potatoes

1.5 kg potatoes of choice

olive oil

salt

pepper

sweet paprika

Wash the potatoes and boil them in salted water for 15-30 minutes, depending on their size. Use a fork to test, once it slides in easily, the potatoes are cooked enough.

Cut potatoes into halves, lengthwise.

Put potatoes into a bowl or pot, add olive oil and the other seasonings and toss properly.

Bake on a sheet pan. Use parchment paper for easier cleaning.

Start on 200 Celsius (400F) and once the potatoes start to show color, up the temperature to 250 Celsius (475F).

Bake until golden brown and crispy on the outside. It should take 25-30 minutes, depending on your oven type.

Preheat oven to 425°F. If using a fan/convection oven or air fryer, preheat to 400°F. If using an air fryer, you may need to cook in batches or prepare fewer potatoes.

Arrange cut potato halves in a single layer on baking tray, with the cut side facing up.

Lightly sprinkle the cut side with seasoned salt or garlic salt.

Bake for 30-50 minutes, until fork tender. The baking time varies based on how big your potatoes are and the type of appliance you're using. So, check them by poking them with a fork starting at the 30 minute mark. If the fork goes in easily, they're done!

Serve with ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard as condiments. For a simple, easy meal, pair a few of these with steamed broccoli or a salad. Filling and low in calories!

Allow potatoes to cool on the counter before storing in the refrigerator.
