Rebecca Wilson tells us how to make the perfect baked potato

The most delicious baked potatoes are obtained only if you boil them first. At the same time, it's not enough to just put the product in boiling water – you need to let it cook completely.

These are the tips shared by Rebecca Wilson. The recipe for the perfect baked potato is contained in her new cookbook Family Comforts, which is already at the top of the Amazon bestseller list, the Daily Mirror reports.

The girl is not only the author of books with recipes but also runs a cooking blog on her Instagram page. Her page with cooking tips has already gained 480 thousand followers

According to the girl, this is the only way to ensure that the potatoes are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. As she said, after you boil the potatoes, you need to drain the water and let them dry.

Then you need to grease the slices with oil and put them in a preheated oven.

"When cooking fried potatoes, be sure to cook them until they are cooked enough – don't steam them. This will give it a soft texture. After turning off the stove, drain the water and let it sit so that the moisture can evaporate, then shake it to crisp the edges. Finally, coat the potatoes with the oil of your choice and put them in a hot oven, but don't forget to turn them over several times," Wilson said.
