I'm trying to make those yummy baked potatoes like Outback and Texas Steakhouse but I've got 3 different recipes and I don't know which one is right.

Answers:
Table salt, rock salt, iodized salt, kosher salt, sea salt, pickling salt, sour salt, seasoned salt, gray salt, black salt, salt substitues!!!!

WHOA!

I know the world of salt can be completely overwhelming!!! Once I learned my way around, I use just about everything under the sun except for plain old salt.

Sea salt is the type used down through the ages and is the result of the evaporation of sea water — the more costly of the two processes. It comes in fine-grained or larger crystals.

Rock salt has a grayish cast because it's not as refined as other salts, which means it retains more minerals and harmless impurities. It comes in chunky crystals and is used predominantly as a bed on which to serve baked oysters and clams and to combine with ice to make ice cream in crank-style ice-cream makers.

And finally,

Kosher salt is an additive-free coarse-grained salt. It's used by some Jews in the preparation of meat, as well as by gourmet cooks who prefer its texture and flavor.

I prefer Kosher salt when it comes to just about everything. It's not nearly as saltly as most salts so you can't as easily oversalt something. It has a course texture that I very much like and, to me, it just tastes better.

If I were you I'd go with the kosher salt or the sea salt. Rock salt is really not the way to go for potatoes. (But I still say kosher's the best!)

Hope this helps!

Other Answers:
try them all. if one [or all three] taste gross give them to homeless people.

The recipe probably just calls for coarse salt in general. Any of these would work. Kosher salt is probably the cheapest.

Sea salt: salt from the sea (not treated with iodine)
Kosher salt: salt that's approved by a rabbi (the Morton's box you buy in the grocery store is navy blue with a big star of David on it)
Rock salt: chunk of salt


I think gojenni714's answer covers it all.

I use Kosher salt in pretty much all of my cooking. But, I use Sea Salt for seasoning (if needed) at the table. I never use the iodized salt for anything.
