Ingredients

  • 6 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes to remove all dirt, rinse, and pat dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Let them air dry for a few minutes too, to make sure they're truly good and dry. Poke several holes into each potato with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle each potato with about 1 teaspoon of oil. Rub the oil all over each potato. Generously sprinkle each potato with salt and then place in the oven.
  • Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until the skin is crisp and a fork slides into the center with very little pressure.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and slice each one down the center with a sharp knife. Fluff the insides with a fork, then serve with the toppings of your choice.
