Baked Potatoes The Way Red Lobster Makes Them Recipes

RED LOBSTER SALT CRUSTED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes well, rinse and allow to drip dry. Leave them whole and do not peel the skin.
• Preheat oven to (convection) 325 degrees or (regular) 350 degrees.
• Pour oil onto one small plate and salt onto another.
• Place an ungreased cookie sheet next to the plates.
• One by one, roll the potatoes in the olive oil. Allow excess to drip onto plate.
• Roll potato lightly in sea salt. You can rub the salt over the potato to spread it evenly. Do not oversalt (ie cover the whole potato). If you run out of salt, simply add more to the plate.
• Lay the potatoes on the cookie sheet. Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the potatoes. Use a fork to poke holes across the top of each potato to allow heat to vent.
• Place the cookie sheet on the middle rack of your oven. Allow to bake for 1 hour. Test with a fork. When potatoes are tender and the fork easily slides in, take them out and serve.
• Other baking option: You can try wrapping each potato tightly in foil instead of using a baking sheet. Just be very careful about steam burns when unwrapping the foil after baking.
• Microwave option: Wrap each potato tightly in a paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate. Set the microwave to full power for 12 minutes. Check for doneness and continue at 2 minute intervals until tender. Note: I have not tried this method, but this is how long my microwave takes for 4 potatoes on its 'Potato' auto-setting.

BAKED POTATOES THE WAY RED LOBSTER MAKES THEM

Steps:

• 1. perheat oven to 450* wash and dry potatoes put potatoes on a heavy baking pan brush with melted butter cover potatoes with kosher salt they should be covered with salt to make a snow-cap bake for 45 minutes.
• 2. The salt will be sucked into the potato while cooking. when done you can wipe all the salt off, baking the potatoes like this is why they taste so good. *when you get a baked potato covered in foil it's wet because it's being steamed not baked.
• 3. *If you ever make something and it tastes too saltey cut a potato in half put both halves in. then throw the potatoes away when your dish is done.
