Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Jacket Potatoes.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Take your russet potatoes and give them a thorough wash, ensuring they are completely dry.
Step 3
Next, drizzle a light layer of vegetable oil over each potato, making sure they are evenly coated for that perfect crisp.
Step 4
Sprinkle a generous pinch of sea salt and a dash of lemon-pepper seasoning, adjusting to your personal taste preferences.
Step 5
For added protection, wrap each potato snugly in a square of aluminum foil, then encase them again with a second layer.
Step 6
This double wrapping helps lock in moisture and flavor.
Step 7
Place the foil-wrapped potatoes in a glass or ceramic baking dish to catch any drips that may occur during baking.
Step 8
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let the potatoes bake for 60 to 90 minutes, until the skins are beautifully crispy and the insides yield easily to a fork.
Step 9
Once they are done, carefully unwrap the potatoes, releasing the steam, and serve them hot.
Step 10
Top with butter, sour cream, or any of your favorite toppings for a delightful finish.
Step 11
Enjoy the simple pleasure of perfectly baked potatoes, a comforting classic that never disappoints.
