To prepare a delicious side of baked potatoes, we start by preheating the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. This is the ideal temperature to achieve a perfectly crispy crust while keeping the inside of the potatoes soft and flavorful. The potatoes should be washed very well, taking care to remove any impurities from the skin, but without peeling them. The skin will help retain moisture during baking and will add extra flavor. After washing them, we dry them with absorbent paper towels to ensure that no drops of water remain on their surface. Each potato is sliced very thinly, leaving it whole at the base, so that we form a sort of accordion. It is important that these slices are cut to about 3/4 of the height of the potato, to allow the spices and butter to penetrate between them, providing an intense and aromatic flavor. To prepare the butter and oil mixture, we melt the butter in the microwave, taking care not to let it boil. Once melted, we mix it in a bowl with oil to obtain a fine emulsion. We use a pastry brush with very fine bristles, which will help us to evenly apply this mixture on the surface of each potato, as well as in the previously created slices. After brushing each potato, we season with salt and a mix of white, green, black pepper, and paprika, to add depth to the flavor. These spices will further enhance the aroma of the potatoes and will turn each bite into an unforgettable culinary experience. The prepared potatoes are placed in a baking tray lined with oil, ensuring that they have enough space between them to bake evenly. Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, we place the tray inside and let the potatoes bake for 50-60 minutes. During this time, the aroma will fill the entire kitchen, and the final result will be a perfect combination of crispy and soft. In the end, the potatoes will have a golden crust, slightly crispy on the outside, while the inside will be incredibly soft, making them perfect to be served as a side dish to various main courses or as a tasty snack. These baked potatoes are not only a delicious choice but also a simple way to impress any guest.
