Crispy Skinned Oven Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Kosher or Sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Wash and dry the potatoes.
- Pierce the potato 2-3 times with a fork (See notes above!)
- Rub oil all over the potatoes
- Rub salt all over the potatoes.
- Place the potatoes directly on the wire rack in your oven and bake for about 45 minutes. (I put a baking sheer on the rack below to catch any drips from the potatoes or oil)
- The exact baking time will depend on how large the potatoes are. The potato should be tender inside , use a fork or thermometer to test for doneness.
- Serve with butter, cheese, chives, sour cream and all of your favorite toppings or continue on with the recipes below to make them even more amazing.
- This recipe is a twist on a shepherds pie baked potato and a cheesy sloppy Joe. Do I have your attention? You’ll simply scoop out the prepared baked potato and fill it with the cheesy sloppy Joe mixture and vegetables then top with the whipped interior potatoes. This makes each potato it’s own meal. And, YES it makes for a great leftover lunch the next day.
