Red Lobster Salt Crusted Baked Potatoes Recipes

RED LOBSTER SALT CRUSTED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes well, rinse and allow to drip dry. Leave them whole and do not peel the skin.
• Preheat oven to (convection) 325 degrees or (regular) 350 degrees.
• Pour oil onto one small plate and salt onto another.
• Place an ungreased cookie sheet next to the plates.
• One by one, roll the potatoes in the olive oil. Allow excess to drip onto plate.
• Roll potato lightly in sea salt. You can rub the salt over the potato to spread it evenly. Do not oversalt (ie cover the whole potato). If you run out of salt, simply add more to the plate.
• Lay the potatoes on the cookie sheet. Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the potatoes. Use a fork to poke holes across the top of each potato to allow heat to vent.
• Place the cookie sheet on the middle rack of your oven. Allow to bake for 1 hour. Test with a fork. When potatoes are tender and the fork easily slides in, take them out and serve.
• Other baking option: You can try wrapping each potato tightly in foil instead of using a baking sheet. Just be very careful about steam burns when unwrapping the foil after baking.
• Microwave option: Wrap each potato tightly in a paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate. Set the microwave to full power for 12 minutes. Check for doneness and continue at 2 minute intervals until tender. Note: I have not tried this method, but this is how long my microwave takes for 4 potatoes on its 'Potato' auto-setting.

BAKED POTATOES THE WAY RED LOBSTER MAKES THEM

Steps:

• 1. perheat oven to 450* wash and dry potatoes put potatoes on a heavy baking pan brush with melted butter cover potatoes with kosher salt they should be covered with salt to make a snow-cap bake for 45 minutes.
• 2. The salt will be sucked into the potato while cooking. when done you can wipe all the salt off, baking the potatoes like this is why they taste so good. *when you get a baked potato covered in foil it's wet because it's being steamed not baked.
• 3. *If you ever make something and it tastes too saltey cut a potato in half put both halves in. then throw the potatoes away when your dish is done.

LOBSTER-STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
• Poke holes in the potatoes, then place them on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until just soft, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the lobsters in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes-this will put the lobsters to sleep and calm them down so they're not so acrobatic when you try to finish them off. Fill a large pot with water and add enough salt so the water tastes like seawater, then bring to a boil. Fill a very large bowl with ice and water.
• Working with one lobster at a time, in one decisive motion, plunge a chef's knife into and all the way through the lobster's head so the head is halved vertically-this kills it quickly. Break down the lobster by removing the claws and the tail. Discard the lobster carcasses or save them to make lobster stock later.
• Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, then add the claws and cook for an additional 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the lobster from the boiling water and set aside. Once cool, crack the claws and tails and remove the meat. Quarter the tails lengthwise and chop. Cut the claw meat in half and chop it into pieces the same size as the tail meat.
• Let the potatoes cool slightly; leave the oven on. Carefully, without breaking the skin, slice the potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Reserve for later.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook until the milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan and turn hazelnut brown and the butter starts to smell nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the scooped potato flesh, salt and pepper to the saucepan and stir to combine. Add the chopped lobster, creme fraiche and 3/4 cup of the Gruyere. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Spoon the potato-lobster mixture into the potato shells and place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or on a quarter-sheet tray. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere and bake until the potatoes are hot and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with the scallions, and serve.

HOW TO MAKE SALTY, CRISPY SKINNED OVEN BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 °F.
• Pierce each potato 3-4 times with the tines of a fork.
• Coat each one well in canola oil, then sprinkle heavily with flaked sea salt all over. You need to get a good crust of salt. Place on a wire baking rack in the middle of a baking tray and place the potatoes on top.
• Bake in the oven for 60-75 minutes or until they are fork tender. Remove and cool slightly on the baking sheet.
• To serve, once they are warm cut a slit lengthwise down the top of the potato, not cutting to the very end however. Take your fingers and place on either side of the potato and push the ends in towards each other to "pop" the center open ( it will look like a restaurant potato now!)
• Serve with butter and pepper, or any and all toppings!

SALT CRUSTED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°.
• Scrub the potatoes and dry them really good.
• Add olive oil and kosher salt into two different baking dishes.
• Brush the olive oil on the potato with a basting brush and let any excess oil drip back into the dish. Now roll the potato into the salt, covering the entire potato. Any leftover salt can be saved for a later purpose.
• Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes until a knife pierces easily, meeting little to no resistance.
• Cut the potato {not all the way through} lengthwise and then top with butter, sour cream, chopped chive if that's your thing or try bacon, ranch and cheddar OH MY!
• For a less salty potato, brush with olive oil and dip only half of it in the kosher salt.
