Ingredients

• 4 pieces large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Poke each potato several times with a fork. This allows steam to escape during baking and prevents them from bursting.

Step 4

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

Step 6

Brush each potato with the olive oil mixture, making sure to cover all sides. This helps make the potato skins crispy and flavorful.

Step 7

Sprinkle fresh rosemary over the potatoes for added flavor.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Cooking time can vary depending on potato size, so check for doneness by inserting a fork into the center. If it slides in easily, the potatoes are done.

Step 9

Remove potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the baked potatoes as they are or with your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings such as avocado, bacon bits, or ghee.
