1
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing any dirt off the skin. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Season the Potatoes
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are coated evenly. Sprinkle salt over the potatoes, covering all sides.
3
Bake the Potatoes
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces through the potato.
4
Serve
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and fluff the insides with a fork. Top with sour cream and any additional toppings you desire.
