Yes! And they're actually better. "Wrapping the potatoes in foil actually steams them instead of baking them, explains Emily Walker of Favorite Family Recipes. "This is because it traps all the moisture inside. You will end up with a soft skin and the inside just won’t be as fluffy." Instead rub oil and salt on the outside of the potatoes and place them directly on the oven rack for a crispy outside. Be sure to place a baking pan on the rack below the potatoes to catch any drippings.
