Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use a fork to poke various holes into the potatoes. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet, rub the potatoes with the oil and then sprinkle the salt all over the outside of the potatoes.
  3. Bake the potatoes for 1 hour - 1 hour and 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and the skin is crispy. The cooking time will vary based on the size of the potatoes.
  4. Allow the potatoes to cool slight before serving. Then cut, top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure that the potatoes are dry before baking to prevent any burning on the outside of the potato skin.
  • Store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
