In my opinion Yukon Gold potatoes are the best for baking because they’re so creamy and nutty tasting. It couldn’t be easier to bake them either. I love cheddar cheese on these too. Such a simple topping but it adds a nice extra bit of flavor.
Baked Yukon Gold Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and dried and poked with a fork all over
- vegetable oil
- a few small pats of butter
- 1/4 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese (not pre-grated)
Instructions:
- Pre-heat oven to 400.
- Line a small baking dish large enough to hold both potatoes with foil.
- Rub the oil all over the potatoes and place them into the dish.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until fork tender.
- Remove, cut many times down into the potato and stick in the butter pieces and some cheddar cheese and then push it back together a bit so it melts in there. Oh hell, sprinkle a little extra cheese on top too if you want to.
- Plate and serve.
I served these with One Great Steak and Roasted Green Beans
