With that much salt shouldn’t you rub it off before you eat them…especially for people who eat the skis….@ Suzzz, I do the same thing except I do not use as much salt. I drizzle the clean dry potatoes in olive oil (and I’ve had no problem with smoking)then sprinle the potatoes liberally with the salt, total salt on 4 maybe 2 tablespoons. The skins always come out sripy and the insides are always like and fluffy.

I do this but with butter instead of olive oil and I love it. The only thing I don’t love is how much the butter on the pan smokes. Does the olive oil smoke at all?

This is the only way I bake potatoes! The result is much tastier, in my opinion, than wrapping them in foil (where they actually steam vs. bake).
