Crispy Skin Baked Potatoes

"I used to microwave baked potatoes for about half the cooking time and finish them off in the toaster oven. My better half said they had steamed taste-not like real baked. I found this recipe in one of the many cooking magazines that I subscribe to (not sure which one)."

directions

  • Scrub potatoes with a vegetable brush, coat with vegetable oil and sprinkle liberally with sea or kosher salt.
  • Pierce twice on each side with a fork and place in a 450°F oven.
  • Bake for 1 hour or more, depending on the size of potatoes.
  • These are fabulous with a moist and fluffy interior and a crispy skin if you care to eat it.

  1. Yes! It worked! Thank you!
     
  2. The proper classic way to do it. However, I do the microwave cheat at times when pressed for time. :-) Don't forget the butter!!
     
  3. Perfect baked potato flakiness. I will be doing my 'taters this way from now on. It's so easy! If you want easier clean up just put a sheet of aluminum foil down first. You could probably bake them directly on the oven rack too if you wanted.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am now a full time homemaker, having retired from a career in Market Resarch for over 20 years-a profession I entered after raising 4 children. Why this field after a degree in Music Education? Who knows? It just appealed to me and the hours were right at first when my children were still at home. I eventually went full-time, but last year decided to retire and join my husband who is a retired engineer. We have had a computer for over six years now and I love getting new recipes off the internet. I print them out and have a three ring binder full of them. Some of them prove to be duds, but most are keepers.
