I actually enjoyed eating the skin while eating this baked potato. Easy to prep, easy to cook, and delicious to eat! I will be making my baked potatoes from now on in this manner.

This is by far the best way to bake a potato, however I found that many potatoes sold in the grocery store are on the big side so sometimes it takes me a little more than an hour. I also sprinkle some herbs d' provence along with the salt on the skin before baking. The smell while baking is heavenly and the taste is unbelievable. I actually got the idea from watching an episode of Rachel Ray where she used herbs' d provence on diced oven roasted potatoes and swore by them. Now whenever I roast a potato any way that is my seasoning of choice and it never fails to come out delicious!

I've tried several different methods and by far, this is easiest and the best recipe for the simple yet tasty baked potato. I love eating the skins of the taters and with this preparation, they were yummy! Alton Rocks!

Oh, Alton, you can do no wrong-- even perfecting the simplicity of a baked potato! No measurement system can estimate how smitten I am with the genius of Alton Brown! ;
