These are the best crispy Baked Potatoes ever! They have crispy chewy salted golden skin, and are light and fluffy on the inside. They are baked in the toaster oven or you can use your regular oven.
Serve this great side dish for two with this Crispy Fried Chicken or these Crockpot Country Pork Ribs and Mushroom Gravy.
