Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- olive oil or bacon fat
- salt
Instructions
- Adjust the rack in your oven to the middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
- Rinse and scrub each potato. Dry each potato thoroughly with a clean towel.
- Pierce each potato with a fork or sharp knife four (4) times on each side. This will allow steam to escape during the baking.
- Rub the outside of the potato with bacon fat, olive oil, vegetable oil, or butter then sprinkle the potatoes all over in kosher or sea salt before baking.
- Don't wrap your potato, you'll be "steaming, not baking" it for the desired crispy skin and light fluffy insides.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes (depending on size) on a rack lined baking sheet until the outside is crisp and the potato gives a little when lightly squeezed.
- Carefully cut each potato open and add your favorite seasonings and toppings like butter, sour cream, chives, etc.
