Crispy Skin Method

To get that perfect crispy baked potato skin there are a few tricks you can use. Never, ever wrap your jacket potato in foil before baking. This will only encourage moisture and you want to gradually dry and crisp the skin as it cooks. Give each potato a scrub then prick evenly with a fork all over. While the potatoes are still a bit damp sprinkle with sea salt so it sticks to the skin (go as light or heavy as you like depending on your salt tolerance).  Heat the oven 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. When the oven has come up to temperature put the potatoes directly on the oven shelf so the heat can attack the spud from all sides. Leave the potatoes for an hour then check by giving them a squeeze. If they are not quite done give them another 10-15 minutes. The flesh should feel soft and the skin crisp.  Split open the spuds then serve with, butter, soured cream and chives.
