I'm a firm believer that the perfect baked potato is crispy on the outside and tender & fluffy on the inside. My recipe will show you how to bake the perfect potato every time! The outside is brown and crisp, deliciously coated in a crust of salt.
Piercing the skin of the potatoes is the trick for getting to a soft, fluffy interior. Truthfully, until recently, I wasn’t a big baked potato fan at all. I always thought they were so bland and almost soggy. Whenever I had them at restaurants, they were shriveled and soft, the toppings were the only part of them that I liked to munch on. But..this delicious, salt-crusted baked potato recipe changed everything! These potatoes come out of the oven with perfectly crispy, flavorful skins and creamy, piping hot insides that taste amazing even without any toppings. I usually serve them as a side dish, or sometimes load them up, like jam packed with toppings for dinner. Try my recipe, you'll love them either way!
