Do you crave that perfect baked potato? The ones that you order at your favorite restaurant with the perfect skin and fluffy inside. Then you’re going to love this recipe.
-Start by picking the best potatoes, make sure there isn’t any green on them.
-Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-Scrub the potatoes clean with a stiff brush under cold running water since you will be eating the skin.
-Look the potatoes over and remove any bruised spots with a knife.
-Pierce each potato deeply with a fork 3-4 times on each side to allow steam to escape during baking.
-Rub olive or vegetable oil over the skin of the potato for a soft, edible skin.
-Roll potato in coarse or sea salt and rub over skin.
-Place potatoes on oven rack and cook for 45-60 minutes, depending on size and how many you are baking.
-Test for doneness by gently squeezing the center of the potato. If it gives easily, it’s done.
