    Like several others, I changed this up a bit.
    I used olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and herbs de provence.

    Absolutely wonderful! I put a little cheddar, some chives, and light sour cream on mine. The flavor from the skin was incredible. Even my kids at the skin this time. I doubt I'll ever make baked potatoes any other way again.

    I varied this using olive oil and a roasted garlic and herb steak rub blend made with coarse salt. The universal response from my house full of picky eaters was "WOW!"

    This recipe was delicious. Instead of kanola oil I used olive oil. It was very tasty.

    My Mom has always done something very similar with the same recipe, but no oil or salt. Delicious! Alton Brown is amazing.

    Wow! I must say this is the most underrated baked potato I have ever tried, Alton Brown, great choice, Im a male and I cook a lot, I had some potato's that a relative had bought for me, they were just sitting there I go to baked potato's recipes, and look what I run into, no wonder why this is the first one to pop up google. LMAO, anyway I hate to say this but its better than my mom's baked potato Shhhh...

    I will forever remember his recipe, Im going to go out cook my girlfriend, with this recipe. LoL by the way the potato's I cooked today, goes great with baked chicken what i added to the chicken was... s&p, season salt, all purpose season salt, a dash of garlic salt, and jerk season sauce. that i marinaded over night. plus rice, canned tuna fish, mixed with s&p, tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, mayo. i added that on top of the potato's OMG. screw desert. basically greatest dish ever!!...

    I just ate the BEST potato I've ever eaten...and I thought I've always made pretty good potatoes! My husband and I couldn't stop talking about these potatoes throughout dinner. I was a little worried, because I went to dress my potato with my usual butter, cheese and sour cream and there was no butter. I was so disappointed! Turns out...this potato didn't need butter! I could've eaten this potato plain. Oh! I got so much dirt off the potatoes with baking soda that I will never clean potatoes without it again. Robert, thanks for the tip! UNBELIEVABLE!

    I used to bake my potatoes in foil, like my mother before me and her mother before her. No more! This recipe is the absolute best baked potato recipe I've ever used. The skin is crisp and delicious and the inside is soft and moist but not mushy, and it comes out that way EVERY TIME. Even my toddler eats these (skin and all without a fuss.

    Leave it to Alton. This recipe works perfectly.

    I did it in my toaster oven, using the roasting rack and pan that came with it.

    In the last 10-11 minutes of cooking, laid a strip of bacon on either side of the potato. (If you haven't cooked your bacon on a rack in the oven, you haven't lived!. They finished at the same time, so the bacon was ready to chop up and top my perfect potato :9
