Baked potatoes is something I wanted to try. This was a pure experiment, which was highly successful. I actually just wanted to see if I can bake potatoes. So I tried things like marinating them in a combination of simple spices and then baking them to perfection. This experiment was an easy one and did not require much efforts. Just that I had to adjust the baking time in the end to extra 10 Min's :) You might need to do this if you are doing an experiment for the fist time like this.
You can try to semi-boil the potatoes and then bake them. That also would be another experiment. You can also sprinkle some lemon juice before serving them. That would enhance the taste.
Be sure to prick holes in the baby potatoes before baking, else something disastrous might happen! ;)
