How to Make Alton Brown S Baked Potato
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Scrub potatoes thoroughly under cold running water using a stiff brush.
- Pat potatoes completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Using a fork, pierce each potato 8-12 times to allow steam to escape.
- Place potatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste).
- Place potatoes directly on the top oven rack in the middle of the oven.
- Position a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drips.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the inside is tender. A fork should easily pierce the center.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
