Notes
- Russet potatoes are the classic “baking” potato. I’m using potatoes that are about 5” long and 2” wide.
- Olive oil helps the skin on the potato crisp and helps the salt stick. Feel free to use your favorite neutral cooking oil.
- Kosher salt creates that crisp, salty potato skin that we all love! I highly recommend kosher or sea salt, not table salt.
