Coated with olive oil & kosher or sea salt, for that delicious, crispy skin. 

No foil needed here.

Bake at 425F until an internal temperature of 210F for a wonderfully fluffy tater.

Don't reach 212F internal temperature or the potato's internal moisture will reach boiling point & turn it from fluffy to gummy.

Use potatoes of similar size, so they cook at the same rate.

Yup, just below boiling point, to keep the inside fluffy.

I agree NO FOIL! I know most like the sour cream but I just go for butter and lots of it topped with pepper.................and not that fine ground powder shit.

@Timmah! you got the correct pepper right there, nice.

PS: strip loin 1 1/4" medium rare is called for.

Yes, freshly ground peppercorns so the volatile oils are there to give & carry the flavor.

Canned pepper is bland by comparison. 

The rest of these baked potatoes I used to make mashed potatoes, using a recipe I came across where you cut them in half & press them through a strainer.

Beating the potatoes activates the gluten in the potatoes & makes them gummy.

The ratio of potatoes to butter I use is 2:1.

1 pound of butter to every 2 pounds of taters.

I also love taking the steak drippings from the dish when I'm letting the steaks rest and pour that on my baked potato. Mmmm

I cheat and use the fat from the cookie sheet I use for making the bacon and rub down the potatoes with it.

Baked potato with the slightest dab of salsa con queso. 

Promise there's a potato under there somewhere.

Can turn out passable if you become familiar with cooking time to remain under 212F internal temp, & firstly poke some holes in the tater; although hot spots will result. 

I cover mine with a bowl when doing this method.
