Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
Wash the Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- 3
Poke Holes
Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato. This allows steam to escape during baking.
- 4
Coat with Oil and Season
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly over the surface of each potato.
Baking

Bake the Potatoes
Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the inside is soft when pierced with a fork.

Serve the Potatoes
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then slice them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork and add your desired toppings such as sour cream, chives, shredded cheddar cheese, and butter.
