Simple Salt Baked Potato Recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Scrub potatoes and dry them. Place salt into a baking dish which will hold the four potatoes comfortably and tuck the potatoes into the salt.

2. Cut the top off the head of garlic but do not remove the skins. Set the garlic into the salt with the potatoes and place 2 sprigs of rosemary on top. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour.

3. Remove foil, take out the garlic and rosemary and set aside. Brush potatoes with the oil and return the dish to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are soft in the center when tested with the point of a knife.

4. Meanwhile, squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins into a small bowl with the softened butter. Chop the remaining fresh rosemary sprig and add ½ tablespoon to the butter and mash and stir with a fork to combine.

5. When the potatoes are baked, pinch them to open up a slit in the center and tuck some of the butter mixture inside. Serve remaining butter at the table or use it on crusty bread to serve at the side.
