Instructions
Lay out four pieces of aluminum foil on a flat surface, ensuring there is enough to fully wrap each potato.
Thoroughly wash and dry the potato skins. Dip the potatoes in oil (or brush them all over with a pastry brush) and place each potato onto a piece of foil. Cover with sea salt, rolling the potatoes around a little to make sure they're well coated. Wrap them up and bake in a 425°F oven for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Serve the potatoes plain, or make it a loaded potato by topping it with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, crumbled bacon, and salt.
Recipe Notes
Use bacon fat: If you want to up the flavor, use the rendered bacon fat from making the crispy bacon pieces instead of oil to make the salt stick to the potato skins!Choosing your potatoes: Russet potatoes work particularly well, as their skins crisp up really well, all the while keeping that desirable fluffy middle!
