The Baked Potato
RECIPE COURTESY OF ALTON BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 10 min
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 1 hr
Yield: 1 potato per person
Ingredients
1 large russet potato (If it looks like Mr. Potato Head®, you've got the right one.)
Canola oil to coat
Kosher salt
Optional toppings, such as butter, sour cream, shredded Cheddar and/or scallions
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees and position racks in top and bottom thirds. Wash potato (or potatoes) thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water. Dry, then using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spud so that moisture can escape during cooking. Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
Bake 1 hour or until skin feels crisp but flesh beneath feels soft. Serve by creating a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another. It will pop right open. But watch out, there will be some steam. Add toppings if using.
Cook’s Note
If you're cooking more than 4 potatoes, you'll need to extend the cooking time by up to 15 minutes.

4 Levels of Loaded Baked Potato: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Onika, home cook Gabrielle, and professional chef Frank Proto from The Institute Of Culinary Education - to prepare us their favorite loaded baked potato recipe. Once each level of chef had served up their spuds, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way - both good and bad. Which level of baked potato looks the tastiest to you?
