EASY BAKED POTATOES



You wanna impress someone with your baking skills…this is the dish for you.

Potato is the last thing I would like to cook. To me it seemed to be a vegetable that should be cut out of the diet altogether. But the humble vegetable has no contribution towards it’s reputation. It gets it’s calories from the way it is prepared.

I came across this recipe in a magazine. It’s photograph caught my attention. When I made this dish I realized that it required some minor changes to get the desired output. There is hardly any preparation required, no cutting and chopping required.

Easy to do recipe with gorgeous results.
