For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper along with the garlic powder and salt. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as onion powder, smoked paprika, or dried herbs like rosemary or thyme. If you're short on time, you can microwave the potatoes for a few minutes before wrapping them in foil to reduce the baking time. To prevent the foil from sticking to the potatoes, you can lightly grease the inside of the foil with cooking spray before wrapping.
