Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, pierce each potato about 6-8 times all over to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated all over.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sea salt and ground black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Step 6
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack, or place them on a baking sheet if you prefer.
Step 7
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the center of the potato; it should slide in easily without resistance.
Step 8
Once fully cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 9
Serve the baked potatoes as they are, or add your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, chives, or shredded cheese, according to your dietary preferences.
