Ingredients
- 6 medium russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- 1 pinch lemon-pepper seasoning, or to taste
- 12 large squares aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Drizzle potatoes with a thin layer of oil. Sprinkle on sea salt and about 1/2 as much lemon-pepper seasoning. Wrap each potato in a square of foil, then wrap with a second square. Place foil-wrapped potatoes in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the skins are crisp and the flesh is soft, 60 to 90 minutes.
Reviews
True British jacketed potatoes do not use foil when baking. They take longer to bake but are worth the crispy skin with very soft insides.
Decent but due to the moisture from the potatoes, these never got crispy wrapped in foil. I ended up having to unwrap them to get a good crisp. You def need the 90 minutes too. I’ll go back to my 400 degree air fryer for 1 hour next time.
