So, half way through baking I realized that you said to raise the rack for crispier skin and I thought to myself, did she mean to broil them the last ten minutes? So I went back to re-read the recipe and that’s when I realized that you said to put them on a rack. I already had them on a cookie sheet. They still turned out great, thanks. Next time I’ll use a rack. I am still confused how raising the rack gives it a crispier skin though.

Best baked potato I ever made. Thanks!

In reply to Maxine. Hi! I just find they take longer. You can try this method and adjust from there.

I already bought the large russet potatoes so I’m wondering when you say they take “forever” to cook – how much time is that? How long should I cook them?

I’m 65 and I’ve eaten ALLOT of bagged potatoes that were obviously prepared wrong including by myself. The first time I used your recipe, I figured nothing this simple could make a difference. This is the best baked potato anyone will ever eat. For 6 months only compliments each time I make these. They are fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside and DONE. We eat the insides with butter, sour cream etc and then after take the skins and fill them again with toppings and eat with our hands because the skins are firm. Like little boats you fill up with whatever you like. Often we don’t eat anything else because the double treat of the insides and then the outside skins are SO filling. Thank you so much for posting this. Forget the foil!! I’ll never make baked potatoes any other way!!

The potatoes were the best EVER! I took a meal in to a neighbor that had just delivered a baby. They LOVED the baked potatoe and BBQ chicken as posted here with a few additional sides of muschrooms, broccholi, salad and fruit. Thanks for the inspiration,

Dont use butter on the skins after baking Butter contains water which will make the skins rubbery.
