Tasty and very easy to make. Nice that you don't have to oil the skin. Water works great to adhere the salt.

    Awesome says it all! How can something this simple turn out such great baked potatoes?The potatoes were fluffy inside and altough there was salt on the skin it did not make the potatoe taste salty. I served these with a boiled ham, sweetpotatoes with apples and asparagus - oven roasted. All agreed that the potatoes are 5 star all the way Thanks wildhorse I'll be doing my baked potatyoes like this from now on 8 Oct added comments I just love the way these potatoes turn out. I just had to say thanks again for this simple but excellent way of roasting poyatoes
