Baked Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425° F. Scrub baking potatoes, dry, and prick several times with a fork. In a bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of kosher salt in half a cup of water. Dunk potatoes in brine and coat completely. Set potatoes on a wire rack, and bake until internal temperature reaches 205° F (about an hour). Brush potatoes with oil and bake another 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven and slice open immediately to avoid gumminess.
