One of very few things which is a meal in itself. Add some salad, some chilli, some other type of sauce or topping and you can transform it. This too transforms the baked potato to a gastronomic delight. I do exaggerate, but it is good and adds a tenderness and hint of garlic to the humble spud. We usually cook them like this on the BBQ, but its not BBQ weather here yet and I wanted one today so I cooked this in the oven. 
Served with a side of Smoky Shiitakes (a PPK tester as made previously) and salad this was one Hot Potato!

Per person
1 medium Baking Potato
2 cloves Garlic – sliced thinly
Preheat oven to 400F.
Scrub potatoes as required and cut horizontally slices along the potato, about 1 cm apart. Cut about ¾ of the way through, you want the slices all attached together.
Push the slices of garlic into the slices on the potato.
Wrap tightly in tin foil and bake for 1 ¼ - 1 ½ hours until potatoes are done.

Roast garlic smooshed into a baked sweet potato is one of my favorite meals.
Oh I love this. Potatoes are soooo underrated. I'm going to have this with dinner tonight. Thanks!
I'm not sure why I've never tried this, it's so easy and looks so good. I don't bake potatoes too often, I'll have to remember next time!
