How do you get a really crisp skin on a baked potato. I have tried
rubbing with salt and olive oil, just oil, no oil just dry and doing
them around 400degrees. Still they just don't crackle as they used to.
What am I doing wrong. I also cook them at least one hour.

I do mine at 450 degrees. Nothing on them at all. They crisp up nicely.

Use large potatoes, preferably russets, and bake at 425F. 1 hour is an
absolute minimum. I prefer potatoes at least 1 1/2 lbs, preferably 2 lbs,
because then you can bake for 1 1/2-2 hours, which makes for a very crisp
skin. If you're wrapping them with foil, btw, this is the culprit. Bake
potatoes dry and naked.
