Baked Potato - restaurant style

I grew up thinking that a good baked potato needed to be wrapped in aluminum foil & then baked in the oven. But then I discovered this recipe - Restaurant-Style Baked Potatoes. You know the ones with the crispy, salty skin & are super tender inside?? These are hands-down the best baked potatoes ever!!

Restaurant Style Baked Potato

6 large baking potatoes, scrubbed & patted dry

1/4 cup quality olive oil

1/4 cup coarse kosher or course sea salt

- Poke several holes in each potato

- Place salt in shallow dish, large enough for a single potato to fit

- Lightly brush olive oil over outside of each potato

- Roll each potato in salt (no need to cover, but should be present on all sides of the tater)

- Place in center of oven, directly on the oven rack

- Bake at 375 degrees for 60-70 minutes until fork tender

- Let cool slightly before serving

- Carefully open each potato & serve with butter, sour cream & whatever else you like.

I like to serve mine with a perfectly done filet :)
