The Bob Ross of cooking. Love this.

Hey now, cowboy, his cooking ain't no "Happy Accident."

So funny. I just wrote the same comment, and noticed yours after I put mine up.

I wanted to tell you how much this video has meant to us. My husband learned how to make these so well! He shows them off to guest who come to visit all the time and they love them! My brother in law has cancer and on his last days. We went to see him for the last time and talked about these potatoes and he wanted to taste them so bad, we made them for him. He could hardly eat them but he tried his best and he loved them! He had not eaten anything for days but he ate that potato. It was a good memory for all of us. We told him about your video and how we learned to make them and I promised I would make a comment and tell the story. Thanks for the memories from our dear brother in law and his brother.

[@aknightscall8886]

Mindy! You got to try this! Before the last 10 minutes in the oven, I put pepperoni slices that I cut in half in each slit. Then I sprinkled on crushed red pepper flakes. After the last ten minutes in the oven, I put more red flakes on and parmesan cheese. Delicious!

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

My mom and grandmother used to serve crispy baked potatoes like this and I could never figure out how they made them. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe and bringing back great memories.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks for watching

[@TheColonelJJ]

Kent, try this. Mix Avocado oil with Sea Salt in a bowl you can roll the potato in. Saves two steps, and I guarantee the skin is crispy!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Sounds good

[@PegNelson-t1u]

[@The_SemperFiGuy]

Kent, As a form United States Marine, (1967-1973), I just wanted to thank you for remember Vets and Active Duty Members of the Armed Forces. We aren't often remembered anymore. It means a lot. As for the potatoes, holy smokes man. Best Taters I've ever had. Right after I take mine out of the oven and cut the X and open them up, I add a hunk of butter and then a couple of scoops of some pre-mixed sour cream with shredded cheddar cheese, scallions, bacon pieces/bits and chopped cilantro if I'm feeling crazy, all mixed together as a spread and boy I'm in hog heaven. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe(s). Everything you show us how to make is Deelish. God Bless and keep the recipes coming ! SemperFiGuy, West Central Florida.

[@bobramey6393]

Well that’s decided looks like crispy potatoes for me and the family tonight lol. Keep up the wonderful work Kent.

[@OdintheGermanShepherd]

Bob Ramey How were the crispy potatoes??

[@bobramey6393]

Odin the German Shepherd we enjoyed them a lot I always wrapped mine in foil before but I believe my kids liked them with the crispy skin better. Still haven’t done the hassle back yet. I should be getting my red river ranch original this week. And the mesquite seasoning as well. Then I’ll try the hassle backs.

[@dakotaescher1]

Yummy, gonna have to try these two ways. My wife loves to cut golden potatoes into small triangular cuts, bastes them in oil and seasoning. She roasts them in the oven, delicious. We have been eating on those all week.

[@stefananitei9883]

[@mkivy]

I make the Dino Back but I place an onion ring between the cut rings, and then later with butter, (not margarine), wrap in foil, cook in the coals after steak is done and cook for 30 minutes. When u unwrap them....yum...yum! The scorched 🥵 bottom and onion is sooooo good! Love em...learned that from my late momma...

I’ve always believed that the potato is the most versatile vegetable there is, from fancy to simple fare there is nothing to compare to the potato. Grandpa said it best when he said keep the faith and an eye on your six. You and Shannon and the pups be safe and God bless

[@bikecommuter24]

I was trying to figure out why the doggies were all excited over 'taters because my pets never showed any interest in 'taters but then I realized they smelled the Bacon Grease, their noses know. 🐶 Nothing like a hot baked potato on a cold evening (well maybe a nice bowl of chili or chili on a potato)

[@nikosmantzios4930]

You're an American treasure Kent! I love watching your videos.. I'm gonna try this today

[@mikef5501]

Yep. It originally aired some time ago, and I saw it re-uploaded to KZbin a week or so before Kent uploaded this video.

Have you ever heard of Salt Potatoes?? I am from Syracuse NY and we have a staple in the summer called salt potatoes! Basically you boil young potatoes in strong salt water until fork tender and serve with butter!! If you have never had them try them you will love them even cold or the morning as home fries!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Sounds good

[@susanstaples6171]

I'm a Maine girl and I don't let anyone tell me about how to cook potatoes! 😄 But wow! great recipe! Love your books!

[@karinheart]

I love your cooking tips....and I love this one so much!

[@stevegrieb6596]

Definitely need to try this recipe. I do my baked spuds with a similar method, but put them direct onto the the oven rack at the very top position. Backing sheet one rack down to catch the drips. I rub them with olive oil before cooking and do them for an hour at 325. They do come out with a leathery skin but I sort of like that. I'll try you method next time I bake taters.

[@MrBankshotone]

Thank you for these wonderful videos, they get me through the day and I feel so refreshed and happy after watching 🙂

[@judahnanas9772]

That recipe is great, if you are in the woods too. Potatoes are crazy easy to grow. Just get a potato, and stuff it in the dirt. Bang! You get MORE POTATOES!!!!! The stores have screwed up the vegetables, so that you can't use them to grow now........ because they are greedpigs

Hey them Idaho potatoes, where we also have cattle that never see a feed lot or eat a grain of corn. Yummy and nutritious. Anyway I must confess to when I want a baked potato in a hurry I do at 10 minutes in the microwave and then about 15 minutes in the oven. I would never do that to company it's just for me. But you inspired me I'm going to do it right tomorrow. I never thought about sticking a thermometer in them, great idea. Thank you.

I just made these baked potatoes to go with pork chops for supper tonight, that crust is amazing! My only problem was I was unable to find the margarita salt, the local Walmart was out of stock and due to the covid 19 there was a mile long line at the liquor store so I had to use sea salt. Next time I’ll try that margarita salt for sure!

... I was cooking bake potatoes wrong for decades !!!! I was using olive oil ... bacon "Drippins'" are so much better. and Bacon Drippins' are basically free ... I love fried bacon & eggs in the mornin' ... so this gives me a use for something I was throwing away !!! I strain the drippins through paper towels and use a large dill pickle jar to save them in ... good for hash browns too ...
