Bomb Baker Potatoes - Guy Fieri

"A seriously great recipe from Guy Fieri. The salt seeps in thru the skin of the potatoes and gives the skin a great strong flavor. May be a bit salty for some folks, but very tasty"

  • In large mixing bowl dissolve 1 cup kosher salt in 8 cups of water. Add potatoes. Insure that all potatoes are submerged, and brine for 2 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove the potatoes from brine and liberally coat with the remaining kosher salt, garlic salt, seasoned salt, and pepper.
  • Place the potatoes on a wire rack in the center of the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Do not puncture skin with tongs, fork, or tooth picks. Potatoes will be soft to the touch when done.

  1. So I watch my sodium intake but I understand the value of brining. Turkeys at thanksgiving are always better when brined so its a great idea for a potato. I only used maybe 1 1/2 TBS of sea salt for the brine and then garlic powder, pepper and fresh herbs as the coating. The simple act of brining with a smaller amt of sodium still impacted the flavor and crispness of the outer potato. The garlic and herbs I placed on the outside combined with cooking directly on the rack was amazing. The inside was moist and fluffy and the outer skin was crispy and seasoned. I will continue to use this method especially since it requires no aluminum foil.
     
  2. THESE WERE HORRIBLE!!!!! THE TIME IN THE OVEN (45 MIN. @ 400) WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH! THEY WERE WAY TOO SALTY AND HARD!!!
     
  3. OMG. Once you've had these, you'll never be able to cook baked potatoes any other way. So fluffy and flavorful. My mouth is watering thinking about them.
