Season the Potatoes
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle salt evenly over them. This will help to crisp the skin while baking.

Bake the Potatoes
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and a fork easily pierces the skin.
