Ttukdak Hyung's Baked Potato

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Using elongated American Russet potatoes, which have less moisture and higher starch density, is key to achieving a crispy skin and fluffy interior, unlike regular Korean potatoes that are high in moisture and easily fall apart.
• If you don't poke deep holes on all sides of the whole potato with a fork before baking in the oven or air fryer, the internal moisture can expand and cause the potato to explode during cooking. Therefore, it's crucial to poke holes evenly beforehand.
• Bacon that is undercooked lacks contrast with the soft texture of the potato, diminishing its appeal. It's essential to fry the bacon in a pan until all the fat is rendered out and it becomes extremely crispy, almost like crumbles, to enhance the texture.
