Hokkaido Butter Potato

北海道バター芋

Whole baked Hokkaido potato split and loaded with a generous block of creamy Hokkaido butter — a deceptively simple snack that highlights the exceptional quality of both the potato and butter from the prefecture.

Method

  1. Scrub potatoes well. Prick all over with a fork. Rub lightly with olive oil and wrap in foil.

    About 5 min

  2. Bake at 200°C for 55–60 minutes until a skewer passes through the centre with no resistance.

    About 1 hr

  3. Unwrap and cut a deep cross in the top of each potato. Push the ends to split it open wide.

    About 2 min

  4. Place a 20g block of Hokkaido butter directly in the cavity. It will melt down into the fluffy potato.

    About 1 min

  5. Season with flaky sea salt and black pepper. Add optional sour cream, chives, or corn. Eat hot.
