Ingredient Notes
Potatoes – I have only tried this recipe with Russet potatoes. Russet potatoes are ideal for baking because they are low in moisture and have a high starch content, producing a tender, fluffy finished product. You can certainly experiment with other varieties if you’d like. Fresh Rosemary and Garlic – For an elegant baked potato, include these during roasting and to mix with butter for an incredible topping for your baked potatoes. If you’re just wanting a basic baked potato, topped with butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, etc., feel free to skip these. Salt – You’re going to need a lot of kosher salt: 2 1/2 cups of it, to be exact. Salt helps evenly distribute the heat in the oven for slow, even baking.

Can I make these ahead of time? These potatoes are best made fresh. If needed, you could transfer them to a warm crock pot to keep warm for a short amount of time between baking and serving.
