Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  3. 3

    Prick and Oil

    Using a fork, prick several holes in each potato to allow steam to escape. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Bake the Potatoes

    Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve plain or with your choice of toppings.
