Pro Tips for Perfect Baked Potatoes
- Pick Uniform Potatoes: Cooking time is more predictable when your potatoes are about the same size.
- Skip the Foil: Wrapping potatoes in foil traps moisture, which softens the skin instead of crisping it.
- For Extra Crispy Skin: After baking, pop the potatoes under the broiler for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning!
- Storing Leftovers: Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 4 days and reheat in the oven to keep that crispy skin.
