This is a fabulous recipe! THE one that has been in my family for 4 generations! This recipe is especially good for twice baked as the skins hold up so nicely!! Alton, you always get 5+ from me. You know that we all like the simpler times....Thanks

Easy -- good. My addition: I was reading another F/N chef's recipe and it included chopping fresh herb(s and mixing into sour cream. So, I cut fresh Italian flat leaf parsley and mixed it into our sour cream for the potatoes. Wow. Game changer. Took this recipe to another level of awesome.

I thought all baked potatoes were the same until I used your method. I was cooking 5 lbs for another recipe and decided to have one for lunch. I ate that one with butter & sour cream and then ate one with nothing!!! It was sooooo goooood!!!!

Wonderful way to cook taters though must admit that's the way I've always done it. Also works well for sweet taters though of course no salt

The best baked potato ever! Better than any restaurant. My husband requests these weekly. I cook 4 each time and they all come out perfectly cooked inside and out.

The same way I've made them for years... by far the best way, and SOOOOOOOOOO much better than ruining them with foil.

If your potatoes aren't coming out right, you are doing something wrong. ALWAYS check for done-ness before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly! I did have to extend the bake time to about 1 hour 20 minutes--my potatoes were on the large side, plus I live at high altitude, so I have to cook just about everything longer. Like other reviewers, my husband and I ate absolutely every bite. After trying this, I will never stick a potato in the microwave again!

The only way to make a baked potato. I add seasoned pepper, dried onion and garlic powder to the oil and salt before roasting. If you have no sour cream for a topping, french onion dip works well in pinch.
