Add to Shopping List
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Rinse the baked potatoes under cold water and rub with your hands to remove any dirt. Dry with a towel.
- Mix together the oil and salt in a medium-size bowl until combined.
- Taking one potato at a time add it to the bowl and completely coat it in the oil and salt.
- Place the potatoes once coated onto a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 375° for 60 minutes.
- When they are done cooking serve whole, or slice in the center and push the outsides to the middle and serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Baked potatoes are meant to be eaten within an hour of making them.
- How to Reheat: Place the baked potato in a pan or on a metal tray and bake in the oven at 350° for 15 minutes or until warmed. Likewise, you can microwave it until warm.
- How to Store: Cover and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These do not freeze that well, so I advise against it.
- If you have a lot of leftover baked potatoes, they are excellent for making hash browns.
- You do not have to salt the potatoes at all, but I do advise to at least coat in oil before baking.
