Ingredients:
– 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Sea salt
– Optional toppings: butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon, chili, broccoli
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Place the oven rack in the middle position to ensure even cooking.
2. With a fork, pierce the potatoes multiple times on all sides. This allows steam to escape during the cooking process.
3. Rub each potato all over with olive oil. This will help the skin to crisp up.
4. Sprinkle the potatoes with a generous amount of sea salt, coating them evenly. The salt not only seasons the potatoes but also contributes to the crisping of the skin.
