Notes
This is the real way to bake a potato. Do not wrap in aluminum foil that will cause steam making it a steamed potato. The idea is to crisp the outside of the potato to cause a steaming reaction inside the potato when skin is cooked. Feel free to enjoy eating the whole potato cooking the potato this way.
