I love Outback Steakhouse's baked potatoes. They magically get the salt to stick to the skin. It took me a few months to figure this one out but I think I'm pretty close.
Ingredients
Russet Potato
Kosher or Sea Salt
Melted butter
Melt a little bit of butter in a small bowl. About a tablespoon, maybe a bit less. Then use a brush and paint the skin of your potato with the butter. Liberally sprinkle the salt on the skin of the potato and bake at 425 degrees for 1 hour.
The picture above shows the potato before baking. To see the finished product check out my New York Strip Steak recipe page.
Do you wrap the potato in foil while baking, or bake unwrapped?
