Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 0 olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water and scrub off any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, poke each potato several times on all sides. This will help steam escape during baking and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
Step 4
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Lightly spray each potato with olive oil spray, ensuring they are evenly coated but not soaked.
Step 6
Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over all the potatoes, ensuring even coverage.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Slice each potato open and fluff the inside with a fork before serving. Enjoy your low-fat baked potatoes with your favorite toppings if desired, such as a light sprinkle of chives or a dollop of low-fat sour cream.
