Ultimate Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- Russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and pierced with a fork on all four sides
- Vegetable oil, for rubbing
- Kosher salt, for sprinkling
- Toppings of your choice, such as butter, sour cream, bacon, chives, cheese, etc
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Rub potatoes well with oil; sprinkle each one generously with salt.
Place prepared potatoes onto center rack of oven; bake for 60 minutes. Check potatoes for doneness by giving them a squeeze; if they give to pressure, they are done. Remove from oven and let rest a bit.
When potatoes have cooled slightly, massage with your fingers to loosen the flesh from the skin. Cut potatoes open and dress with desired toppings so you can dig in.
