Alton Brown's Baked Potato image

From the Good Eats episode: This Spud's for you. I was looking for information on how long to bake potatoes in the oven and came across this basic recipe from Alton Brown. Perfect potatoes every time! I wanted to include it here so I can add it to my Cookbook.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1-4 baked potatoes, 1-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 -4 russet potato
canola oil (or any oil you prefer, a lighter type works best)
kosher salt (regular salt works too if you don't have Kosher Salt)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Wash potatoes thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water.
  • Dry, then using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the potatoes.
  • Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt
  • Place potatoes directly on top rack in middle of oven. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
  • Bake 1 hour or until skin feels crisp and inside feels soft.
  • NOTE: If you're cooking more than 4 potatoes, you'll need to extend the cooking time by up to 15 minutes.
