Once you have these potatoes, you will never bake another potato. These are so good served just as you would a baked potato.

Made without the peppers, and doubled the onions. Turned out great! Thank you for sharing.

    This was good but I would definitely recommend double butter, onions and peppers. I also accidently burned the heck out of the outsides of it but enough was saved that we did get a taste!

    Very nice and different way to make potatoes. I have made a similar version on the grill but never thought to make them in the oven. Worked great. The green pepper was a nice addition to them. I used Lawry's Seasoning Salt and they were very tasty. Next time instead of the butter I may add a couple of slices of bacon on bottom and top for added flavor.

    Very, very good change on potatoes. Have done them on the grill before but was getting tired of my own recipe. Had never used garlic salt before. I baked them in the oven in the foil. For the last 15 minutes of baking, I opened the foil packet and they turned a nice brown and the edges were all nice and crispy. Great recipe..will definately be making again!
