These were the BEST baked potatoes I've EVER had! My husband and I love foil-wrapped baked potatoes from our favorite restaurant, and I wanted a similar recipe. These were far better than the restaurant! They're tender and flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe! Thank you!
What temperature do we put oven on
Excellent potatoes! I love variety and this brought it to the table. I was rushed for time and saw on another site to microwave each side for three minutes then grill for 5-10. That was my only deviation. Family loved it and guests loved. Thank you for the recipe.
More prep time than outcome yields, my family could not really tell a difference. I'm gonna try it again! Hard to pass judgement with one attempt.
