★Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large russet potatoes
Sea salt

★Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). - Prepare Potatoes:
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
- Dry the potatoes with a clean towel.
- Using a fork, pierce each potato several times all over. This allows steam to escape during baking.
- Season Potatoes:
- Rub each potato with a little olive oil.
- Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Bake:
- Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. They should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Slice each potato open lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork, and add your favorite toppings.
Enjoy!
