Baked Potato Ingredients

Method

Baked Potato Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel.

  3. 3

    Season Potatoes

    Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle them generously with sea salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Bake Potatoes

    Place the seasoned 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 can easily pierce through the potato.

  5. 5

    Prepare Toppings

    While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings such as butter, sour cream, chives, and shredded cheese.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Add butter, sour cream, chives, and shredded cheese as desired.
