Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, pierce each potato 6-8 times all over. This allows steam to escape during baking, preventing the potatoes from bursting.
Step 4
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over the potatoes, ensuring a nice even coat.
Step 6
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack, with a baking sheet lined with foil on the rack below to catch any drippings.
Step 7
Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes. They should be tender when pierced with a fork and have crispy skin.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 9
Carefully slice each potato down the center, then gently squeeze the ends to open up the potato.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your choice of soy-free toppings such as butter, sour cream, chives, shredded cheese, or bacon bits.
