Time 1h15m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large russet potato
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
Sour cream, chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, hot sauce, as desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with foil. Scrub potato well with stiff-bristled brush, and rinse.
  • Place two chopsticks or two wooden spoon handles parallel to each other a few inches apart. Place potato, widest side down, between chopsticks. Use sharp knife to cut deep slits, about 1/4-inch apart, crosswise into potato, cutting most of the way down, but not all the way through, using chopsticks as a guide. In small bowl, stir melted butter and taco seasoning mix together. Brush potato all over with spiced butter, making sure to get some butter into cuts. Place on cookie sheet.
  • Bake about 1 hour or until potato is tender throughout. The cuts in the potato should open like an accordion. Brush with additional butter, making sure each cut gets buttered. Bake 5 minutes. Serve with any toppings you like.
