We had our Back to School dinner tonight. My husband is a meat and potatoes kinda guy - and so are our kids. Me - not so much LOL. The theme was "SUCCESS is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out" like "an apple a day" so our meal was based on apples.
We had pork tenderloin, baked potatoes (with sides served in apple dishes) and one of my favorite salads Blue Cheese, Apple & Grapes salad and hot apple crumble pie with vanilla ice cream - what a way to start the school year!!
Russet Potatoes - 1 per person
Butter
Kosher salt
Perfect Baked Potatoes
Scrub each potato clean and poke at least 10 times with a fork. Set on a sheet pan with aluminum foil and a wire cooling rack.
Bake for 25 minutes at 450 degrees.
Remove from oven and brush with butter and sprinkle generously with kosher salt on the side facing up. Flip the potatoes over and repeat the process. The salt sticks better if you butter and then salt each one immediately before moving on to the next one.
Put them back in the oven for 40 minutes. Using an oven mitt or paper towel and squeeze gently to check for doneness.
Serve with bacon, chives, sour cream, and cheese for the perfect bite!!
