Simple Baked Potato

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until melted 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in olive oil garlic powder salt and pepper.

Use a fork to poke about 5 holes into each potato. Place each potato on a sheet of aluminum foil about 6 inches wide. Brush butter mixture over potatoes making sure to evenly coat each one. Wrap up completely in foil. Poke 5 more holes into the wrapped potatoes.

Bake potatoes in the center of the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork about 1 hour. Spread leftover butter mixture over potatoes after cutting them open.
