Recipe 6. How to bake jacket potatoes in the oven
1. There is probably no person in the world who does not like baked potatoes with a crispy crust and tender, fluffy flesh with something very tasty and melty inside.
First you need to preheat the oven to 190 degrees C. For 2 servings, thoroughly rinse two large potatoes weighing approximately 225-275 degrees. Dry them thoroughly and dry them with a towel, and then set them aside for as long as possible to dry completely. Then pierce the peel several times with a fork, pour oil over each potato and rub the peel with it.
2. Then rub in some sea salt - this will help the peel lose some moisture and make it crispy.
3. I used to put the potatoes straight into a hot oven, but over time I discovered that putting them in a colder oven and cooking them longer resulted in crispier skins. So place the potatoes directly in the middle of the oven on a rack and bake for 1 3/4 - 2 hours depending on the size of the potatoes, until the skins are crispy.
4. When the potatoes are ready, cut them in half lengthwise. Then use a fork to loosen the inside of the pulp, add a lot of butter and it will melt and gradually disappear into lush clouds of potato pulp. Add sea salt, ground black pepper and serve plain or with toppings of your choice. Serve immediately as the potatoes lose their crispness quickly.
Recipe 7. Potatoes baked with mushrooms, cheese, sour cream
- 4 large potatoes,
- 2 large onions,
- 500 g of mushrooms (I have honey mushrooms, but white mushrooms, obabka, boletus and even champignons will do),
- a glass of sour cream,
- 150 grams of Dutch cheese,
- butter,
- salt pepper.
Grease the baking dish with butter
The same can be done in a pot, in portions. Serve deliciously with vegetable salad or tomato slices.
Recipe 8. How to bake potatoes with chicken in the oven
One of the easiest and fastest recipes for cooking whole chicken in the oven. Chicken is baked in a sleeve with potatoes, onions and garlic. The chicken turns out baked until golden brown, very juicy and aromatic, and most importantly - immediately with an original side dish.
- Chicken - 1 pc.
- Onions - 2-3 pcs.
- Garlic - 1 head.
- Potatoes - 5-6 pcs.
- Spices for chicken (or a ready-made set, or: khmeli-suneli, saffron, red pepper, or, if someone doesn’t like it spicy, ground paprika)
- Salt, black pepper
It is better to take the chicken carcass chilled, but frozen will also work. If you have a frozen body at your disposal, defrost it at room temperature. Do not put your body into water, especially hot water!
In general, everyone, as they say, is a master. For marinating, you can use a pan, a basin, or whatever you want, but I always marinate bodies for baking in bags, because I think that: 1) there is less washing up; 2) meat, poultry, and fish marinate better in it, since everything is more or less hermetically sealed.
So, put the chicken in a clean, whole bag, squeeze 3-4 cloves of garlic onto it with a garlic press, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, chicken spices (here everyone experiments for themselves, but I usually use either a ready-made set, or: khmeli-suneli, saffron , red pepper, or ground paprika). When you have prepared your bouquet of spices, pour a small amount of vegetable oil over the whole thing in order to bind the spices and to make it easier to coat the chicken with them. In general, you can mix all the spices, garlic, salt with oil in a separate plate and then spread it, but then the chicken recipe will lose the title “the easiest way to bake chicken in the oven”
And then, evenly wipe the rest of the body. When rubbing, pay attention to those areas of the carcass where you can get your fingers (neck, spaces between the skin and fillet, etc., etc.), because the more thoroughly you rub it, the more flavorful the finished dish will be.
As soon as the process of rubbing our chicken is over, we wrap it in our bag, leave it to marinate right in the sink for 30-40 minutes, and prepare the vegetables. Peel the potatoes and onions, peel the remaining head of garlic to whole cloves.
B. Bake chicken in the sleeve
We place a baking sleeve on a baking sheet (in this case, I used a bag), and place the chicken carcass in it, and around it - peeled and halved potatoes, cut into quarters - onions and all the available whole garlic cloves. The chicken and vegetables are placed in such a way that the upper (breast) part of the chicken does not overlap with the vegetables. You can add a couple of cloves of garlic inside the chicken, but I don’t recommend putting vegetables in there, as the chicken may not cook through!
We clamp the upper part of the sleeve (baking bag) with a special ribbon so that there is a small margin and the bag does not come into close contact with the chicken. At the top of the bag, we make several small holes so that steam can escape from the bag. To bake chicken well, you need hot air to circulate inside the sleeve. After completing this procedure, place the baking sheet with chicken, potatoes and onions (!required) in an already preheated oven, after which the temperature can be reduced slightly.
Bake the chicken until cooked and forms such a beautiful crust. Use the timing yourself, as each oven has its own characteristics.
So, after our chicken is completely baked, we transfer it from the baking sheet directly in the baking sleeve to a wide, shallow plate, and once there, carefully cut and remove the sleeve, and we get a magnificent finished dish right away with a side dish!
Serve freshly baked chicken immediately! The cooled dish will no longer be so stupefyingly aromatic and tasty!
Recipe 9. Potatoes and meat baked in the oven under a cheese crust
- Potatoes - 2 kg
- Meat - 500 g
- Carrots - 3-4 pcs.
- Onions - 2 pcs.
- Garlic - 5 teeth.
- Dill - 100-150 g
- Parsley - 100-150 g
- Hard cheese - 200-300 g
I prepare this creation when I don’t want to fuss for a long time and want to eat deliciously.
The main ingredients are meat (for a budget option, minced meat also works well), potatoes, carrots, dill, parsley, onions, garlic, mayonnaise, cheese.
I pour vegetable oil into a deep baking sheet so that there are no ungreased areas, but you shouldn’t overfill it. On a baking sheet I place a layer of meat (cut into small pieces) or a layer of minced meat.
Soak the meat or minced meat in a small amount of soy sauce for 5 - 10 minutes.
The next layer is a mixture of pre-prepared vegetables, namely: grated carrots, finely chopped onions, parsley, dill. I add a little mayonnaise to the chopped vegetables, add salt, mix and place on a baking sheet.
I make the third layer from a mixture: potatoes, cut into thin slices or circles, garlic squeezed with a garlic press, mayonnaise, salt. It will taste better if you add seasonings. Seasonings that work well are khmeli-suneli, flexible, universal (“Maggi”, “7 dishes”, etc.) Place on a baking sheet and put in the oven. If the potatoes are not greased with mayonnaise, then they will dry out in the oven and the top part will not be juicy.
Under the influence of temperature, liquid comes out of the ingredients, but this is not a problem. During baking, the liquid evaporates. Cooks in the oven for about 40 - 50 minutes, depending on the temperature. You can navigate by the smell, as well as by the appearance of the potato. About 10-15 minutes before it’s ready, take out the baking sheet and sprinkle the dish with grated cheese and put it in the oven. That seems to be all!
This dish is very versatile; you can add different ingredients, depending on what you have in the refrigerator. Sometimes I add chopped champignons to the vegetable mixture.
It is not for nothing that people call potatoes the second bread. Thousands of dishes are prepared from it - from simple to complex.

- Turn the potatoes skin side up. Bake for 10 minutes. Then return the potatoes to their original position and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the edges of the skins are browned. Finally, remove the skins from the oven and immediately fill them with the meat filling. Sprinkle grated cheese on top and put it back in the oven. And wait until the cheese melts. Before serving, sprinkle the stuffed potatoes with chopped cilantro.

- While the potatoes are baking, make the sauce. Whisk vinegar, mustard, egg yolk and olive oil with a large pinch of salt. Then add cheese, and a little later lemon juice. We try the sauce, if everything suits us, set it aside.
- We cut each potato crosswise and, holding it by its ends, spread it slightly to the sides. This creates space for our filling. Add a piece of butter or a spoonful of olive oil to the middle of each potato, then the sauce and a little salt. Mix the arugula with a large amount of sauce and also add it to the potatoes.
