How to Make Oven Baked Potatoes
Russet potatoes baked with olive oil and flaky sea salt for tender centers, flavorful skins and plenty of topping potential.
Ingredients
- 5 Large Russet Potatoes
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup Flaked Sea Salt )
Directions
Set the oven to 350 degrees. Wash the potatoes, then dry them very well. Put an oven-safe cooling rack over a cookie sheet. Pour the salt onto a plate. Add the olive oil to a bowl, and coat each potato all over with it. Roll the oiled potatoes through the salt, then arrange them on the rack over the cookie sheet. With a steady hand, cut a zigzag across the top of each potato, or poke the skins with a fork in a zigzag pattern. Bake for 60-75 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Take them out of the oven and serve with butter, sour cream, cheese and bacon, or whatever toppings you like.
