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

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.

Does Mr. Fieri come clean your oven when the potatoes explode?

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.
