Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures the potatoes cook evenly and have a crispy skin.
- 2
Wash and Prepare Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 3
Poke Holes
Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato. This allows steam to escape during baking and prevents them from bursting.

Season Potatoes
Rub the outside of each potato with olive oil and sprinkle kosher salt and black pepper evenly over each potato.
- 5
Bake
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 easily pierces the flesh.
