- 2 tablespoons garlic salt
- 2 tablespoons seasoned salt

Directions
In large mixing bowl dissolve 1 cup kosher salt in 8 cups of water. Add potatoes. Insure that all potatoes are submerged, and brine for 2 to 8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

OH YES, THESE ARE DEFINITELY THE BEST BAKED POTATOES. AND, IF YOU MAKE EXTRA, YOU CAN REFRIGERATE THEM, SLICE THEM AND SAUTE THEM AND HAVE THE VERY BEST FRIED POTATOES FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH OR DINNER.
I DID USE (SPARINGLY MCCORMACK'S MONTRAL SEASONING. WHAT A GREAT GUY!!!

These are the best baked potatoes. My turned out seasoned perfectly and very fluffy on the inside. I used the leftovers to create a stuffed potato. This is the only way I bake potatoes now.
