Sea Salt Crusted Baked Potatoes image

This is Kaye's recipe. It is quick and easy and by cooking the potatoes uncovered, the sea salt and olive oil create a nice crust that keeps the potatoes from drying out. The result is a very soft creamy potato. A loaded baked potato makes a great meal. Enjoy, Sam!
