Tips

  • For extra flavor, use garlic salt instead of kosher salt.
  • Every part of this potato, including the skin, is delicious.
  • Top with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, grated cheese, chives, scallions, and cooked bacon.
  • Bake until potatoes are tender and nice and golden crispy brown.
  • To loosen the potato, slice lengthwise and squeeze it after removing from the oven.
  • Listen to the crispiness of the potato when cutting it open, showing it's perfectly baked.
  • Spread butter inside the potato for more flavor, and mix with the potato's soft interior.
  • The crispy, cheesy exterior provides a delightful texture contrast to the soft inside.
  • The simple preparation makes it a go-to side dish or snack.
  • Make sure to flip potatoes once after 20 minutes to evenly cook the cheese and butter on both sides of the potato
