Baked Potatoes

Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 Russet potatoes (medium to large)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt (if desired)

Instructions

    1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2: Scrub potatoes under running water to clean. Pat dry.
    3: Pierce the skin of each potato with a fork in several places. This allows the steam to escape.
    4: If desired, rub the potatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt (I don't do this).
    5: Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet or on a rack.
    6: Bake uncovered for about 1 hour.
    7: The potatoes are done when they feel gentle to pressure and have little resistance when poked with a paring knife.
    8: Serve with toppings of your choice. Try butter, sour cream, chives, chili and more.

Notes

Bake as many potatoes as you like. 4 potatoes medium/large potatoes weigh about 2 1/2 pounds.
You can bake the potatoes with or without oil and salt.
Larger potatoes will take longer to cook and smaller ones cook faster.
If needed, you can hold the baked potatoes in a warm spot for about an hour before serving.
You can line the baking pan with foil or a silicone baking mat for easier clean up.
