Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Scrub the potato with water and a vegetable brush until well-cleaned. Blot dry with a kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Rub the entire potato with olive oil, then sprinkle on some kosher salt and rub that all over the potato as well.
- Prick each potato with a fork three or four times. This will allow the steam to escape while baking.
- Place potatoes directly on the oven rack. Bake until potatoes just begin to appear wrinkly and papery on the outside, and when you squeeze the potato, it gives - 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of your potato. Another way to test is to insert a fork into the potato (it's done if the fork goes in easily).
- Remove from the oven and, as soon as you can handle them, slice each potato down the middle. Then place your forefinger and thumbs on the bottom ends and squeeze toward the center. This helps to fluff the insides, and helps keep moisture from getting trapped inside the skin as the potatoes begin to cool.
- Serve warm with butter, sour cream, bacon, chives, scallions, salt, black pepper, sauteed mushrooms, chili, grated cheese, salsa, steamed broccoli, pretty much whatever you want. The perfect meal!

- DO choose the right potato. The best potato for baking, hands down, is a Russet potato. Also called an Idaho potato, this high-starch, low-moisture spud is also ideal for mashing or deep-frying.
- DO set your oven to the right temperature. Set the oven temperature too high, and the skin of the potato could burn before the inside is cooked. Set your temperature too low, however, your potatoes will take all day to cook.
- DO know the difference between olive oil and butter. You’ll want to stock olive oil and butter when making a baked potatoes, but keep in mind that these two ingredients aren’t necessarily interchangeable.
- DO pile on the toppings! Three Ways Stuffed Baked Potatoes. A baked potato is a blank canvas for an endless array of tasty toppings. From classic sour cream, crumbled bacon, and cheddar to Mediterranean-inspired tapenade, capers, and goat cheese, the only limit is your imagination.
- DON'T forget to prick the skin with a fork. Fail to do this, and your potato could explode in the oven. (Yes, we’re serious!) Pricking holes in your potato allows steam to escape while it bakes.
- DON'T wrap your potato in foil. Wrapping your potato in tin foil creates a steamed effect that may help it cook a little faster, but you’ll lose the irresistibly crispy skin that makes a baked potato just so good.
- DON'T use the microwave. Yes, it’s faster than the oven, but nuking your potato in the microwave is just about the worst thing you can do for it in terms of deliciousness.

- Position oven racks in the middle and bottom third of the oven and heat to 350ºF. Line the half sheet pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly with a stiff scrubbing brush under cold running water. Dry the potatoes thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Using a fork, poke 8 to 12 holes all over each spud so that moisture can escape while cooking. Place the potatoes in the bowl and coat well with the oil. Sprinkle with the kosher salt and place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the oven. Place the half sheet pan lined with aluminum foil on the rack in the bottom third of the oven to catch any drips. Bake until the skin feels crisp but the flesh feels soft and the interior of the potato has reached between 205 and 210ºF, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven with oven mitts. Using the fork, create a dotted line from end to end on the top of each potato and crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another; watch out for the steam. Serve immediately.
