Crispy Spicy Baked Potato

Potatoes are most palette friendly food whether its for kids or for adults. I prefer baking potatoes instead of frying them as it more healthy. Addition of cumin gives a wonderful smokey aroma to humble potatoes. They are crunchy from outside and soft inside. A wonderful side dish with baked chicken, steaks or fish.

I like them with skin on as skin is crispier than the flesh and it adds a nice texture contrast as well but you can peel them if desired.
