Best Foil Potatoes (Baked in Oven) Recipe

Very delicious. Some things that I did diffrent would be once the potatoes were cut in half I poked holes in the potatoe with a fork. I also used seasoned salt instead regular salt. I also would recomened backing for about 55-60 minutes if you like your baked potatoes a bit softer.

I did these on the grill. I did two potatoes and partially microwaved them to cut down on time. I scored them and didn't measure the spices. I used seasoned salt and garlic powder. I also used a little melted butter and olive oil - not too much just enough to rub onto the potatoe. These are always delicious. I served them with a side of sour cream.

A true baked potato in the oven is not wrapped in foil, wrapping the potato in foil is going to trap steam inside the potato and it's going to give the potato the texture of boiled or steamed which is a much different texture versus baking the potato in the oven with no foil. Just wash the potato skin really good, poke the potato a few times with a fork and put it in the oven. I put mine right on the oven rack and let me tell you it is SO delicious!

My Uncle showed me this method when I was a kid, except it was in the pit grill.

Time consuming (an hour to bake) but ssssooooooo delicious!!! The only thing I did different was not cutting the potato fully in half. I cut about 3/4 of the way through length and width wise, stuffed the butter in, sprinkle sprankled the garlic, pepper and onion salt, wrapped it all up and waited patiently. Very much worth the wait!!!

We do this but microwave the potatoes, 5-7 minutes, put in foil w/butter, garlic and onion powders, wrap tight and put n the grill. Easy and delicious! and no hot oven to heat up in the summertime...

Preheat the oven to 425 not 400 and cook them for at least 6o mins or you’ll end up with raw middles

We make these a lot in the summer and do them on the grill. A delicious alteration and for slightly faster cooking is to slice the potatoes and layer them with onions drizzling olive oil and salt and pepper between the layers.

Good basic recipe, though I made some changes. I was taking these out camping so that I could cook them over the campfire, so I baked my spuds in the oven for about 1/2 hour before assembling them (takes way less time, and prevents them from burning). Once they were a little softened, I peeled them, and cubed them. I also added some yellow onion and some grated cheddar. I then wraped them up tightly in the foil, and paked them in the cooler. Once we were out at the campfire, I just cooked them on the grill, rotating, and flipping them regularly. Worked great! :)

Wonderful, and no mess to clean up. Sometimes I just rub the shell with olive oil and sea salt. To those who complained about the cooking time, different varieties of potatoes cook or bake differently. Old potatoes VS new potatoes can be different to, so don't yell at the cook!

While I normally bake my potatos without foil, I wanted the garlic butter flavor. I followed the instructions with the following differences, I poked holes in the potatoes before putting them in a 450° oven for 1 hour. They were soft fluffy and delicious!

I baked in the air fryer at 400 degrees for an hour. Delicous!

Was the best and easiest baked potato I've ever made! It's definitely become the starch for the last min weeknight meal! Thank yoouuu

Very tasty

The potatoes were still very, very firm. This did not work. It's like they didn't cook at all.

Bro, I feel unstoppable after eating this.

Potatoes barely cooked at that temperature. Bad directions.

As written I have to rate these 3 stars. You'll definitely need to plan on more cook time and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder per potato was way too much. For the salt, I ended up using seasoned salt. At 40 minutes the potatoes were still hard but the shell felt dehydrated through the foil. I ended up cooking them for an hour and then pulled them out and let them sit wrapped up for 30 minutes. That seemed to do the trick. The shells rehydrated and the potatoes were the perfect doneness.

I’ve tried baking potatoes many ways over the years and they are never quite right. These are the best we’ve ever had. Even got rave reviews from my picky husband. So easy too. Will make this way every time.
