The best baked potato I ever ate was in Idaho Falls Idaho, it was served in a golden wrapper that said Idaho Spud. Now we shall see if this recipe can come close to that memorable spud.

Making a baked potato seems so esy but once I had to move from a toaster oven to a regular oven, my potatoes ALWAYS over dried or under cooked. This potato turned out perfectly cooked, golden, and absolutey delicious! I believe I raised the tempeature to 375 or 400 based on other reviews and a small amount of time before dinner. It took about an hour, maybe slightly more. I used sea salt on the outside and olive oil. Must try!

Perfect recipe. I'm embarrassed to admit I've been covering mine in foil all these years! Finally, we can have DELICIOUS baked potatoes at home. Thank you, Alton!

So I thought about making some baked potato's, something I've done many times. I almost felt stupid looking up how to make one. And then I wondered what Alton Brown would do with it. So I followed the simple recipe exactly and - wow! Perfect. My wife and my 3 kids ate the whole potato and the kids wanted another one! Thank you for the perfect baked potato.

I love this recipe. Perfect skins and lovely flakey flesh. I love to make these potatoes on a weeknights and make them into meals. Let it bake while you do your chores or whatever and then top it with your favorite toppings.

One hour usually works fine for my medium-small russets, but I have had to increase cooking time sometimes depending on if the potato is very thick instead of long.

wow Alton this technique is spot on! I had no idea I could be so excited over a baked potato! I did 1.25 hours for 2 large spuds.
