Baked Potatoes
The Cuisinart
®
Toaster Oven Broiler makes perfect baked
potatoes with a fluffy interior and a crisp, papery skin.
Makes 4 servings
4 Idaho or russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
Place rack in the Cuisinart
®
Toaster Oven Broiler in position “B” and preheat
oven to 400°F on Convection Bake setting. Press “Start/Stop” button. Mean-
while, wash and dry potatoes. Use the tines of a fork to prick potatoes in sev-
eral places to allow steam to vent during baking. (Option: if you rub the skin
with about
1
/
4
teaspoon of vegetable or olive oil before baking, the skin will be
crisper and browner.) Place directly on rack in preheated oven and bake until
soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Press “Start/Stop” but-
ton. Remove potatoes from oven and slit with a sharp knife down the center
to vent. To serve, pinch open the top to expose the flesh and fluff with a fork.
Serve topped with butter, margarine or sour cream, as desired. (Convection
baking will produce a slightly crispier skin than traditional heat.)
Variation: Substitute sweet potatoes or yams for white potatoes.
Directions for non-convection models:
Place rack in position “B” and preheat oven to 400°F on bake setting. Press
“Start/Stop” button. Bake potatoes for about 55-60 minutes, until soft and
easily pierced with a fork. Remove potatoes from oven and slit with a sharp
knife down the center to vent. Serve as desired, with butter, margarine or
sour cream.
