- Rub salt all over the potatoes. Choose coarse sea salt or pink Himalayan salt. 1 tablespoon salt
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on how large the potatoes are. The potato should be tender inside if you poke a fork into it.
Notes
- Serve with butter, cheese, chives, sour cream and all of your favorite toppings!
- The purpose behind piercing a potato with a fork is to let the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from exploding while baking. I've never had a potato explode on me. But...for safety, pierce the potatoes.
- Serve with butter, cheese, chives, sour cream and all of your favorite toppings!
- The calories shown are based on one potato with no toppings, but all potatoes are a different size. To get an exact calorie count, weigh the potato and search google for the amount of calories that size potato.
