During Lent, we often come up with new dishes for a varied and tasty diet. But sometimes the same product can be prepared in different ways to get new taste sensations. For example, potatoes can be prepared in so many different ways that the dishes will taste different. For me, potatoes baked whole in foil in the oven are the most delicious, if you compare them with boiled or fried potatoes. And what's more convenient: you don't have to fuss with them, wrap them in foil and put them in the oven, and you take them out already cooked. Such potatoes are perfect for the Lenten table, if you don't use butter.

So, to bake potatoes in the oven in foil whole, take the potatoes themselves and a little more, namely salt, vegetable oil and foil, in which we will bake them.

Рецепт

1. Since we are baking the potatoes whole, we will rinse them well in water.

2. Then dry them on a towel.

3. Place the potatoes in a bowl and grease them well with vegetable oil. Since we are going to bake the potatoes, it is better to use refined oil that can be heat treated.

4. Now salt the potatoes well.

5. Place each potato on a sheet of foil. If you plan to add any filling to the finished potatoes, then for convenience, make a small cross-shaped cut with a knife.

6. Wrap the potatoes tightly in foil and place them in a baking dish. That's all the simple preparations, now all that remains is to wait for them to be ready. Bake the potatoes whole in foil in the oven at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes.

7. We check the readiness very simply: take out the potato, carefully open the foil so as not to burn yourself with steam, and pierce it with a knife. If the potato is soft, then it is ready.

8. If you plan to put a filling in it, then open the skin along the cut that you made before baking. Scrape out the pulp a little, season with olive oil, and if you are not fasting, you can use butter, then put any filling. I made it with herring - perhaps the most classic combination. You can decorate with dill sprigs.

9. Serve with any vegetable salad.
