Experienced housewives know that quickly and correctly baking potatoes in the oven on a baking sheet is not difficult. However, for novice culinary specialists, for whom this recipe was written, it may seem like a difficult matter. Therefore, today I propose to bake potatoes in their uniforms in the oven. The potato peel retains its juiciness, prevents drying and saves most of the vitamins.
Tubers prepared in this way are allowed to be consumed by those who follow a therapeutic diet. Since they are not heavy on the body, they do not overload the stomach and are well absorbed. And cooking potatoes in a peel is as easy as shelling pears. It is suitable for a hearty and healthy side dish or for adding to salads, for example, vinaigrette or Olivier. The tubers do not fall apart, as happens with starchy varieties during cooking, but on the contrary retain their shape and are easily cut. They also store all the nutrients, some of which are digested during cooking. If desired, potatoes can be baked on their own or coated with spices or sauces.

Step-by-step cooking of baked potatoes in the oven in a peel, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the potatoes under running cold water, brush well and dry with a paper towel. You can also dab some baking soda on the brush. It will not spoil the taste, but it will remove dirt and some living microorganisms from the surface of the tuber.
It is better to bake potatoes of the same size and variety at the same time, so that they cook evenly and at the same time. If there are many "eyes" on the tuber and there is damage by pests (such as a wireworm), then it is not suitable for baking.
2. Place the potatoes on a baking tray. This can be a glass or ceramic dish, or just a baking sheet for an oven. Season the tubers with salt.
If you wish, you can not cook the vegetables whole, but cut them into pieces. However, whole baked potatoes retain all the useful properties.
3. Make a few shallow punctures in the potatoes with a wooden skewer so that the skin does not crack during baking. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the potatoes to bake for half an hour. Check the readiness by piercing the stick: it should easily enter the tubers.
