Ingredients

4 servings

4 large russet potatoes, (scrubbed clean of dirt, rinsed and dried)
2 teaspoons vegetable or olive oil
½ teaspoon salt

Steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Prick each potato a few times all over with a fork, if you like (see note). Directly on the baking sheet, rub the potatoes with the oil and sprinkle all over with the salt. Bake until tender when pierced in the center with a sharp knife (or until the center of the largest potato registers 205°F/96°C to 210°F/99°C), 60 to 70 minutes. You can also squeeze the potatoes to see if they are soft (be careful; they're hot!). Let sit for a few minutes until cool enough to handle, then cut a slit down the center of each potato and serve with toppings of choice.
