The Great Foil Debate

NO FOIL METHOD (Recommended):

• ✅ Crispier skin

• ✅ Fluffier interior

• ✅ Better texture

• ✅ True baked potato flavor

FOIL WRAP METHOD:

• ❌ Softer skin (steams instead of bakes)

• ✅ Slightly faster cooking

• Good for potato bars where skin isn’t eaten

Pro Tips for Potato Perfection

• DON’T SKIP THE PRICKING: Prevents potato explosions

• COMPLETELY DRY POTATOES: Oil adheres better to dry skin

• USE KOSHER SALT: Creates the perfect crispy texture

• TEST FOR DONENESS: Should feel soft when squeezed (with oven mitts!)

• REST BEFORE CUTTING: Allows starches to set for fluffier texture.
