Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 medium/large russet potatoes (scrubbed well)
4 tablespoons cold pressed canola oil ( or other neutral flavoured oil)
4 tablespoons flaked sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 °F.
  • Pierce each potato 3-4 times with the tines of a fork.
  • Coat each one well in canola oil, then sprinkle heavily with flaked sea salt all over. You need to get a good crust of salt. Place on a wire baking rack in the middle of a baking tray and place the potatoes on top.
  • Bake in the oven for 60-75 minutes or until they are fork tender. Remove and cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  • To serve, once they are warm cut a slit lengthwise down the top of the potato, not cutting to the very end however. Take your fingers and place on either side of the potato and push the ends in towards each other to "pop" the center open ( it will look like a restaurant potato now!)
  • Serve with butter and pepper, or any and all toppings!

Tips for Making the Best Crispy Skin Baked Potatoes:

- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes, also known as baking potatoes, are the best choice for crispy skin baked potatoes because they have a high starch content that helps them crisp up nicely in the oven. - Scrub the potatoes thoroughly before baking to remove any dirt or debris. - Use a fork to pierce the potatoes several times before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting. - Toss the potatoes in olive oil and salt before baking to help them crisp up and brown. - Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for a shorter amount of time to achieve a crispy skin and fluffy interior. - Keep an eye on the potatoes as they bake and remove them from the oven when they are tender when pierced with a fork, but before they start to wrinkle or collapse. - Let the potatoes cool slightly before slicing or serving to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Crispy skin baked potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. By following these tips, you can make the perfect crispy skin baked potatoes every time. Whether you serve them plain, topped with butter and sour cream, or loaded with your favorite toppings, these potatoes are sure to be a hit.
