Ingredients

  • 4 Medium Russet Potatoes
  • 1 cup Kosher Salt (or equivalent)

  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the salt in a large bowl filled with warm water.
  2. Wash but do not put holes in the potatoes.
  3. Add potatoes to the salt water so they are completely submerged.
  4. Soak for a minimum of 2 hours.
  5. Remove potatoes from the salt water, sprinkle skins with Garlic Salt and Pepper.
  6. Bake directly on the wire rack in a 400 degree oven for 45-60 minutes (depending on the size of the potato.)
  7. When potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they are done.
  8. Take out of the oven, split open lengthwise. Fluff up the potato with a fork.
  9. Butter and season with salt and pepper to taste!
