I made baked potatoes following these directions and they were excellent. My son said "these are the only baked potatoes that I actually enjoy". Next, I am going to make their ground beef chili using home made chili powder. | ||

I learned to the salt trick from my mom when I was a kid. No need to dirty a bowl with a "brine," though. After I poke a few holes in the potato, I just run it under water, salt it, and then right into the oven. Works like a charm. I need to try brushing with bacon grease next time we have baked potatoes. Thanks for the videos. | |||

If you like baked potatoes get an Instant Pot. Only takes around 20 minutes and they come out perfect. -------------------- I like Sigs and HK's, and maybe Glocks | |||

The video doesn’t play fo me. But my local Outback Steakhouse brushes the potatoes with melted butter, then rolls them in salt prior to baking them. Those potatoes are delish. Serious about crackers | |||

How do you cook them with the instant pot? Which setting/temperature do you use? Do you just put them in the pot? | |||
|
Thank you Very little |
Preheat Oven to 450 degrees Poke holes into skin of potato with fork(around it) Brine the Potatoes 1/2 cup water with 2TBSP salt mix, dip the potatoes in the water and roll then remove, only a few seconds works Place your potatoes on a rack on a pan and put in oven for about 45 min, cook to temp range of 205 to 212 Degrees Pull from oven, coat potatoes with vegetable oil (not butter) or bacon fat, duck fat Put back in oven for 10 min, remove then cut tops with an X immediately Don't wrap them in foil, don't coat with butter (has water in it so the skin won't cook properly. | |||

I am not a big fan of baked potatoes. But it seems I may have been doing them wrong. I bet this brings them up a notch. | |||

Well, I recommend you do yourself a favor and scrap that garbage, low carb diet nonsense. Then go have yourself a damned baked potato.

I get big russets, scrub the skin of all dirt, get some thick foil and wrap them up with a pat of butter and salt. Throw on the pit with real wood and cook at 350 for about an hour. The smoke gives them a great flavor. Just slice the top, open it up, add more butter and eat it out of the foil. If you are cooking steaks then throw the tators in an ice chest (obviously without ice) while the steaks cook and it will still be warm when the steak is done. I like eating the skin so that’s why I scrub them before cooking. | |||

If I got extra room when I'm running the smoker I'll trow a couple pounds of Reds or Yukons on. Roll them in a little bacon grease first then salt and pepper and right on the smoker no foil wrap. I cook then just past about half done. Take them off cool them to room temp and put in the fridge. They make the best fried breakfast taters you could want and the fry up quickly and crispy brown.

For those who don't like baked potatoes, it's probably because you've been eating them wrapped in foil all your life. A foil wrapped potato is a STEAMED potato, not a baked potato. I coat mine lightly in vegetable oil and roll in Kosher salt and bake directly on a rack and they are fluffy and delicious. You also need to use the correct potatoes, which are Russet. If you use boiling potatoes, they don't come out well. | |||

When did potatoes become deadly? I understand the trend away from "processed" foods, but a baked potato has to be about as Paleo as it gets. People have been eating them forever. It's not a dang pack of Oreos. | |||

I coat them in olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then bake on the Weber charcoal grill over high heat. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

It’s because they haven’t had one of mine, the smoke penetrates and adds flavor. I don’t care if the butter and moisture steam it, bake it or nuke it - they’re good. I lead a Veterans group at work and we cook 100 baked potatoes and ribeye steaks for the residents of the Houston Fisher House twice a year. We actually run out of potatoes before steak. | |||

Once again, when it comes to methods and receipes, America's Test Kitchen for the win!
Thank you for your help, my aunt stayed there most of Oct-Nov before my uncle passed, they had nothing but good things to say about their stay there. When do you guys do your cooking? | |||

I love Bridget and Julia. That is the best cooking show out there. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
