I came up with a new way to make baked potatoes that were a huge hit with the family.
So I thought I would post it here for anyone that may want to try it.

After the potatoes are washed I rub some olive oil on them and sprinkle with coarse kosher salt.
Then I bake at 400 degrees for about 45 minute depending on the size of the potatoes.

Slice and open the potatoes and put in a large soup bowl (these are 30 ounce bowls)
Then add some sour cream and butter.

Top that with some grilled perch fillets (These were small perch so I added a few extra fillets)

Now ladle on a scoop of creamy clam chowder.

And finally top the whole thing with fresh crispy bacon and sliced green onion.
Serve and enjoy!
Bonus: Potatoes are now recognized as a heart healthy choice by the American Heart Association.
