How long do baked potatoes take in the oven?

These potatoes bake for about 60 minutes after 10 minutes of prep, until the skin is crisp and a knife slides easily through the centre. Larger potatoes may need a few extra minutes.

Why use ghee instead of butter on baked potatoes?

A melting spoon of Anveshan ghee gives the same luxurious richness as butter but with a nutty aroma and farm-direct purity. It soaks into the fluffy potato beautifully.

How do you get crispy skin on baked potatoes?

Rub the potatoes all over with Anveshan olive oil and sea salt before baking; the oil crisps the skin while the salt draws out moisture. Avoid wrapping them in foil, which steams the skin soft.
