For perfectly baked potatoes with crispy skin and fluffy insides, use Russet potatoes. Scrub, dry, and prick them with a fork. Rub them with Olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt, and bake directly on the oven rack at 425°F for 45–60 minutes, or until tender. Let them rest a few minutes before slicing and fluffing.
Nutrition for this recipe is based ONLY on the baked potato itself. NOT the Chicken A la King filling. For those nutrition numbers, please the my Chicken à la King recipe.Freezing baked potatoes is fine, but freezing the filling will change its texture and thickness. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend keeping the filling and the potatoes separate until you reheat and eat.
