How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Step
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pierce each several times with a fork.
3. Step
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake until the skins are crisp and the flesh is tender, about 1 hour.
4. Step
Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly.
5. Step
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/8 inch of the potato flesh attached to the skin. Reserve the scooped-out flesh for another use.
6. Step
Spray the inside of each potato skin with butter-flavored cooking spray.
7. Step
Sprinkle minced fresh rosemary and freshly ground black pepper over the interiors.
8. Step
Return the potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until they reach desired crispness.
