HOW TO MAKE MEXICAN POTATOES RECIPE

There are different techniques to prepare baked potatoes, I like to pre-cooke them in a pot before putting them in the oven, this greatly advances the cooking time of the potatoes. We are going to prepare this recipe by marinating and cooking the potatoes before putting them in the oven. Basically,

we will just put them in the oven to give them this touch of golden-crispy potatoes on the outside and keep them soft on the inside. Another way to make them is by marinating them and placing them in the oven covered in aluminum foil. Only that, that way it takes much longer to cook.

TIPS FOR THE BEST BAKED POTATOES WITH BUTTER

Over the years I have been perfecting the recipe as it appears in the video. I recommend you prepare the serrano mixture with a half cup of lemon instead of the cup and a quarter mentioned in the video. For my taste they are better less bitter, the amount of half a cup of lemon juice will do the perfect job for a great flavor.
