Baked Potatoes

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

smooth, well-shaped potatoes of uniform size
coarse sea salt (formerly 'bay salt')

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Wash and scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush.
Dry the potatoes and place them in a shallow pan.
Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven, turning occasionally for even baking.
Bake for about 45 minutes, testing for doneness by pressing between your fingers; they should yield easily.
