Oiled & Salted Jacket Potatoes

Tammy Circeo
Jacket potatoes are the UK name for baked potatoes and ever so much more fun to say. Oiled & Salted Jacket Potatoes are not wrapped in foil and have a crispy, salty skin that is so delicious.

Ingredients
  

  • large Russet baking potatoes However many you need!
  • high-smoke point oil such as avocado oil
  • sea salt

Toppings you might enjoy:

  • butter
  • sour cream
  • Boursin cheese
  • chives or green onions
  • chopped bacon
  • steamed broccoli

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Scrub the potatoes very well, then drizzle oil over each one. Rub the oil over the skin of each potato. Take care not to use too much ... you don't want it to be dripping off.
  • Generously sprinkle sea salt over each potato.
  • Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack, evenly spaced apart. Roast for about an hour. To test for doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the largest potato to be sure it is soft all the way to the middle.
  • Serve with butter, sour cream, Boursin cheese, chives or green onions, chopped bacon, steamed broccoli ... or even with Classic American Chili!
