Benchtop halogen (convection) ovens can be used to make many vegetable dishes including baked potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 4 baked potatoes, medium to large
  • Olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper (optional)
  1. Put the higher level stand in place. Most halogen ovens work best when there is the most airflow both above and below the food.
  2. Remove any imperfections.

  3. Poke a fork into various spots of each potato.
  4. Place in the oven evenly spaced apart. Do not have any potatoes touching.
  5. Test when the cooking ends. If they need more time, try another 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Use tongs to lift out of the oven.
  7. Push a fork into the flesh and mash it around.
  8. Season with salt and pepper. Add anything else you'd like, such as grated cheese, baked beans, chopped tomatoes, etc.
