Instruction manual
1
For the classic "jacket" potato, select 5-6 tubers of the same size. Wash, being careful not to damage the peel, and dry. Bake in the oven, on the grill, or in hot ash until an appetizing smell. Shake the finished potatoes if necessary. Serve whole, unpeeled - on a shared platter. With butter, salt and finely chopped fresh herbs, as well as a side dish for grilled meat, fish.

There are several options for baking in foil. Rinse and dry the uncooked potatoes. Wrap in foil, bake on charcoal or in the oven. Place the peeled potatoes in a foil greased with grease or oil, pepper and salt. Wrap tightly and bake until cooked. Serve with butter or vegetable oil or sour cream.

Baked stuffed potato is very tasty. Depending on its size and grade - put the filling in raw, cooked to various degrees of readiness or baked potatoes. Raw large potatoes cut into equal halves, cut in both holes and then connect. You can cut off the "cover" on top, and in the main part make a recess for the filling. Before baking, close the stuffed potato with your own “lid”. The hole in the baked or boiled potatoes can be made with a spoon. The fillings can be meat, vegetable, mushroom and mixed. Stuffed potatoes can be in foil, or in sauce, in the oven or on the grill. Serve the finished dish hot or cold, with fresh herbs. Melted butter, sour cream or sauce to taste.
