Awesome says it all! How can something this simple turn out such great baked potatoes?The potatoes were fluffy inside and altough there was salt on the skin it did not make the potatoe taste salty. I served these with a boiled ham, sweetpotatoes with apples and asparagus - oven roasted. All agreed that the potatoes are 5 star all the way Thanks wildhorse I'll be doing my baked potatyoes like this from now on 8 Oct added comments I just love the way these potatoes turn out. I just had to say thanks again for this simple but excellent way of roasting poyatoes -
Yum! These potatoes were so good. They came out with a crispy skin & fluffy on the inside. This is the way I'll be making baked potatoes from now on. Thanks. -
Awesome! I have made these 2x's now and really like them. I make several extras just for the purpose of leftovers. TY for an easy and delicious recipe!!! -
Wow! These tasted just like the potatoes from the Keg Restaurant - amazing! They were very easy to make and very tasty - this is how I will make my baked potatoes from now on. -
These were tasty baked potatoes, but I didn't find them that different than a 'regular' potato baked at high heat. They were slightly too salty for me but I used an unsalted butter inside and it sort of balanced out. I really liked the texture of the potato- far superior to one prepared in the microwave. Thanks!

I collect recipes although I have no particular talent for cooking. I can follow a recipe, even altar it somewhat but when I have attempted to create my own dish, it has too often ended up not palatable. This is why Recipezaar has proven to be such a valuable tool for me.
