    Potato sat in the oven for over an hour and was still not done. Use foil. Worst recipe ever, I created this account just to say that.

    Very easy to do and very tasty. I topped it off with cheese, sour cream, and some butter.

    If you have a through-the-door probe thermometer with an alarm, set it for 210F (99C. That's the internal temperature of a finished potato. (Assumes you remember to put a probe in the spud, of course.

    This is the proper way to do the potato, by the way. Alton always has the goods--here's another demonstration of that truth.

    Wonderful! I used to wash them poke them and throw them in the oven. The skin was something you left on your plate. Not now. The only twist I tried was using a spray can of canola oil that I bought on a whim. It worked well. I just spray painted them sprinkled the salt and baked. Perfect. The idea of adding herbs is interesting. I'll have to experiment.

    I'm not a big fan on olive oil, so I haven't even tried it with olive oil yet, just vegetable oil. Instead of poking with a fork, I slit it with a knife and wedge garlic slices into the slits.(all other steps are the same Tastes AMAZING!

    Good basic recipe, but I have always cooked my potatoes at 400 degrees for an hour, and I've never heard of doing them at 350. Perhaps those who think the potatoes need more time should just raise the temperature a little. Otherwise, very good, but with olive oil, definitely.
