Brined Baked Potato
One of the easiest things to make on your ceramic charcoal cooker and that is asked about repeatedly on forums are baked potatoes. Here we brine the potatoes before baking them. We don't know why this works, but brined potatoes seem to turn out fluffier inside. And of course, baking the potatoes in a ceramic charcoal cooker will get you a skin with character and a little smokiness.
