Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Lightly coat each potato with extra virgin olive oil using a basting brush, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the potatoes, distributing it as evenly as possible.
Step 6
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack, spaced evenly apart.
Step 7
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley and mix it with lemon juice in a small bowl.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before slicing them open.
Step 10
Top each potato with a spoonful of the parsley-lemon mixture and serve immediately.
