Does anyone know how to cook those yummy baked potatoes like Outback or Texas Steakhouse?

Question

I know that they use rock salt but other than that I'm at a loss.Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

My husband worked at Texas Roadhouse at one time. It's bacon grease. They dip their "taters" in bacon grease, hit it with the salt and bake it. Honestly, there's a big vat of that grease soley for dippin' taters.

Answer 2

Rock salt on the outside of a potato is just for show.

If you want a fancy baked potato, do this:

Cut the potato in half and make several slices into the flesh of each half to increase the surface area.

Spread a little butter on each half.

Pile whatever topings you like, except sour cream, on one half.

Put the other half on top and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.

Bake as usual.

If you bake sour cream it will separate and make an unsightly mess.

Answer 3

1 small yellow onion diced
olive oil
5 baking potatoes
3/4c milk
2tbsp. butter
1 tsp pepper
4oz(1/2 bag) kraft shredded cheddar cheese

Pre-heat oven to 350 place baking potatoes directly on oven rack and bake for 1hour 20minutes.
Meanwhile, cover the bottom of a skillet or frying pan with olive oil add onions to oil and sautee until tender (About 5 minutes) Remove onions from heat; drain excess oil. Add onions to medium mixing bowl.

When potatoes are done, take out of the oven and cut the top 1/4 off of each potato (the long way) Scoop potato out of the shell and into mixing bowl with the onions. Add milk, butter, and pepper to mixture. With mixer, combine ingredients until well blended. Add cheese and mix with spoon.

Place potato mixture into a medium sized plastic bag. Twist bag (bag should appear as a pastry bag) with scissors, clip the corner off the end of the bag. Squeeze the potato into each shell. place on cookie sheet and bake another 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and light brown crust forms on top of potatoes.
