A perfectly cooked terracotta potato is a satisfactory side or even a main dish, depending on how you dress it.
Ideally, you want a soft medium and well -seasoned and crisp external skin. But there are many cooking methods that do not give these results.
In an effort to find the best way to cook a potato in the oven, I tried three different methods using a microwave, an air fryer and an oven. For everyone, I used a clean reddish potato, oil and simple seasonings.
The microwave was the quickest way to cook the potato. Chelsea Davis for the initiate
The use of the microwave has taken almost no effort.
The only drawback was to have to prick the unpopable potato with a fork, which was not super easy and slowed me down a bit.
I also didn’t like it to worry if I stung him enough times to make sure that he would not jump into the microwave.
After pushing the potato about 10 times, I put it in the microwave at the top for five minutes, I turned it back and I cooked it for five others.
He was cooked unevenly. Chelsea Davis for the initiate
I ended up cooking the potato, which led to a dry and unattractive final product.
Because each microwave has different settings and heat forces, it was difficult to find the right instructions to make a potato in the oven uniformly cooked.
It was an effective cooking method. Chelsea Davis for the initiate
I liked to use the air fryer because I didn’t have to sting my potato a pile of times for the air flow.
All I did was spray with cooking oil, season with garlic salt and put it in the fryer in the air at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
I loved the inside of this potato. Chelsea Davis for the initiate
I checked it halfway to make sure it does not burn and did not use the pliers to rotate the potato for a uniform frying.
After 45 minutes, the skin was crisp and the potato was over.
When I opened it, I was shocked from cooking evenly. The potato was easy to fluff and the skin had an excellent texture and flavor.
It took the most time. Chelsea Davis for the initiate
I used a fork to pierce 12 holes everywhere in the potato so that humidity can escape while it cooks.
Pushing the fork in and out of the SPUD was just as high intensity of labor as with the microwave method, mainly because the fork remained stuck.
Before placing it in the oven, I coated the potato in oil and salt. Then I cooked it directly on the oven rack for an hour at 350 F.
The potato was quite soft inside. Chelsea Davis for the initiate
After an oven hour, the potato was over.
He came out relatively soft inside, but he was not as uniformly cooked as the Air-Fryer method.
The aerial Fryer method was simple and infallible. Chelsea Davis for the initiate
The fried potato in the air came out perfectly.
It was cooked evenly – soft on the inside and crisp on the outside – which gave the potato a great shape. Sharp of the skin also made it ideal for the stuffing of copious fillings.
