Why I using Russet potato? Because this type is large and perfect for baking and fries. Russet potato have russet colour and mild, soft flavour. Therefore I put a lot salt to make the meat tasty.
HOW TO WASH THE POTATO
Before cook them, I need to wash them until they clean. To wash them you should use cold water from tap. Than clean them with your own hand, dish brush (make sure its new) so potato not get or using dish washing gloves.
Never clean potatoes in hot/warm water otherwise outside skin cooked but not inside. So make sure you want your potatoes coke in the same time inside and outside.
HOW TO MAKE LAYERS SHAPE ON POTATO.
Than after potatoes clean, place them into medium bowl and pour cold water for few minutes. Than cut them to layers shape using medium sharp knife. For Hand Fan baked potato, you only need to do 50% layering and 50% on the original shape.
