Russet potatoes make the best baked potatoes because of their thick skin, perfectly roasted on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.
Nothing like a hot baked potato!! Yes, it is little time consuming but definitely worth a wait. These Baked potatoes are the best when served with crunchy coleslaw, buttery corn kernels, grated mozzarella and spiced with chopped jalapeno.
