Med

Russet or Idaho Potatoes

2

TBL

Melted Butter

2

TBL

Coarse Koscher Salt

Toppings

    Butter
 

 

Sour Cream

   

Chives

   

Grated Cheddar Cheese

    Bacon bits
    Black Pepper

 

 

Preheat oven to 450°

To prepare the potatoes:  Scrub potatoes with a soft brush under cold water then dry with paper towels.

Coat Roll dried potatoes in melted butter and then Coarse Kosher Salt.

Bake Place potatoes without piercing skins on center rack of oven; bake for 30 minutes.

Remove potatoes from oven, and pierce skins with a fork in several places. Return potatoes to oven and lower oven temperature to 350 degrees.

Continue baking until potatoes are tender (gently squeeze to determine doneness) approx 30 minutes.

This method makes a crisp skinned, fluffy-textured potatoz, by steaming the potato pulp first (in its own moisture), then allowing the steam to escape (by piercing the skin) which dries the interior pulp to make it fluffy.
