Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Your favorite toppings (e.g., cheese, sour cream, chives)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly.
  3. Poke holes all over each potato using a fork to allow steam to escape.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, rubbing it in evenly. Sprinkle generously with salt.
  5. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 45-60 minutes until tender; they should easily yield to a fork.
  7. Remove from the oven, slice open lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork, and top with your favorite ingredients.
