Season and wrap: Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the cut side of each potato half. Sprinkle generously with garlic powder and sea salt. Bring the two halves back together to reform the potato. Wrap each potato tightly in a square of aluminum foil, ensuring there are no openings for steam to escape. (10 minutes)

Bake: Place the foil-wrapped potatoes directly on the oven rack. Bake for 40-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and feel tender when squeezed gently. (40-60 minutes)

Rest and serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before opening the foil. This allows the steam to redistribute, resulting in a fluffier texture. Carefully open the foil (steam will escape!), and serve immediately. (5-10 minutes)
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper along with the garlic powder and salt.
Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as onion powder, smoked paprika, or dried herbs like rosemary or thyme.
If you're short on time, you can microwave the potatoes for a few minutes before wrapping them in foil to reduce the baking time.
To prevent the foil from sticking to the potatoes, you can lightly grease the inside of the foil with cooking spray before wrapping.

Aug 5, 2024I was skeptical about baking potatoes in foil, but this recipe has converted me. They're so much more flavorful and moist than baking them without foil.

Feb 20, 2024I added a little bit of shredded cheese to mine before wrapping them in foil, and it was delicious!
