Fire Baked Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that pairs well with a variety of main dishes. The spicy sea salt provides a flavorful kick to the potatoes, making them a favorite among spice-lovers. Potatoes themselves are a nutritious addition to any diet, providing complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential nutrients. To reduce the environmental impact, try to minimize the use of aluminum foil in cooking by using other methods like roasting or baking directly on a baking sheet.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.	Wash the potatoes and pat them dry.
3.	Poke each potato several times with a fork to create small holes.
4.	Sprinkle sea salt all over the potatoes.
5.	Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
6.	Bake the potatoes in the oven for about 1 hour or until they are soft when pierced.
7.	Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before unwrapping them.
8.	Cut open each potato and sprinkle them with more sea salt to taste.
