Best baked potato recipe?

I'm making dinner tomorrow and decided to make baked potatoes. I want the skin to be crispy and have a lot of flavor, but not sure how to achieve that. I'm not the best cook, so the easier the better:)Best baked potato recipe?
You can rub butter or use a butter flavor spray on the outside, and then sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder around the outside. Bake this for about an hour and a half at 350. The outside gets crunchy/salty and the inside gets pretty soft. Just be careful that the butter doesn't drip all over your oven. If you have two racks, put the potatoes on the upper rack and a sheet of foil on the lower rack to act as a drip tray. You may have to fold a large sheet in two to make it heavy enough to not rise up with the heat from the burner, though.Best baked potato recipe?
Mmmm, I have a great recipe. I'm going to assume you'll be cooking for 4, so please bear with me. Bake the potatoes, (if you want really crisp skin, very lightly oil it first), Slice off just the tops, then scoop out the insides and mash. Add: grated cheese, almost 1 can of cream of chicken soup, green onions, a little bit of butter and some sour cream. (about 1 Cup of cheese and sour cream, and 5-7 Tablespoons of green onions, and 3-4 T. of butter) Melt all this in a separate pan then pour into the mashed potatoes, then spoon back into the shells. Bake at 325 for about 20 min. I guarantee you all will love em.
Clean and wash your potatoes. Then rub the outside of them with either butter or oil. (butter tastes best) Then liberally cover them with lots of salt. Wrap them in foil and bake them slow. 250-300 tops for several hours (the longer, the better). This will ensure a very soft inside crispy outside potato (the bottom will be especially crunchy). White potatoes or yukon gold taste the best. Use real butter, or whipped real butter, when stuffing them. Grated cheddar cheese, chives and sour cream are always a nice touch, too. Don't put them in a microwave! It destoys the flavor and the texture. Let your oven do the work...
This is how I make baked potato, turn oven to 400 degrees, wrap potato in damp paper towel and microwave for 5 minutes, brush with oil, wrap in foil and bake for about20 minutes, depending on size.


Squeeze to check doneness. Faster than oven baking and better tasting than microwaving.
I like to start my potatoes in the micrwave to cut doen on baking time. Not enough to cook them but just enough to get them started. I do 3-5 min.





Rub them with olive oil and the sprinkle with garlic salt. Bake at 375 for about 45 min, enjoy.
- Wash your potatoes and pat dry.


- Rub olive oil all over the skin of the potato.


- Generously sprinkle salt all over the potato.


- Bake in a 400 degree oven for an hour on a baking pan
Take one fist sized poetato for each person...stab each with a fork all over...then wrap each in tinfoil...back at...(estimating here) 400 for like 30 minutes or so....


when done cut in half but not all the way thorough and serve with various toppings (ie sour cream...cheese...bacon bits...green ononis....)
use cheese!
