How to Make Baked Potatoes

Potatoes are oven-baked until the skin is crisp, and the insides are soft, white, and fluffy. Top with bacon, sour cream, cheese, or chives for the perfect side dish.

Ingredients

4 servings
  • 4 russet potatoes (or Idaho potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or canola oil)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. Scrub potatoes to remove any dirt or debris. Dab dry with paper towels.

  3. Poke each potato with a fork to pierce the skin about 5-6 times per potato.

  4. Rub the outside of each potato with olive oil and season with Kosher salt.

  5. Place potatoes directly on the middle rack of your oven and bake 45-55 minutes. (I place a small piece of foil on the rack below to catch any drippings).

  6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
