Let’s be honest: a plain baked potato is reliable, but it rarely excites. Enter the scored potato — same humble spud, but sliced, buttered, and roasted until golden and crispy at the edges, with tender, fluffy ridges perfect for soaking up flavor.
By simply scoring the top of each halved potato — making shallow cuts like an accordion — you create more surface area for crispiness, allow seasonings to seep in, and turn an ordinary side into something that looks (and tastes) gourmet.
And the best part? You only need 5 ingredients, one bowl, and one pan. No fancy skills required.
This isn’t just a baked potato.
It’s a baked potato with confidence.
