Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes weighing 1 pound each
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
- several coarse grinds black pepper per potato
- a tiny sprinkle of garlic powder per potato
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easiest clean-up (optional); set pan aside.
- Scrub potatoes well and dry them.
- Pierce each large potato 8 to 10 times with a fork.
- Place potatoes on baking sheet and rub oil all over potatoes.
- Rub salt all over potatoes. Use every last bit of the tablespoon of kosher salt for four 1-pound potatoes.
- Sprinkle the smallest bit of garlic powder over the skin of each potato. Do not overwhelm the potato with garlic flavor - aim for the slightest hint of garlic.
- Place baking sheet of potatoes in center of oven and bake for about 55 minutes. Potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork - and the fork should slide back out easily, with no resistance. If there is any resistance at all, bake a bit longer.
- Remove potatoes from the oven. Cut a slit across the top of each potato with a sharp knife. Gently squeeze in each end of the potato towards the middle to pop open. Loosen up the fluffy white interior from the skin with a fork.
- Serve hot - with butter, sour cream, chives, and any of your favorite toppings!
