How to Make Baked Potatoes
Potatoes are oven-baked until the skin is crisp, and the insides are soft, white, and fluffy. Top with bacon, sour cream, cheese, or chives for the perfect side dish.

Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Scrub potatoes to remove any dirt or debris. Dab dry with paper towels.
- Poke each potato with a fork to pierce the skin about 5-6 times per potato.
- Rub the outside of each potato with olive oil and season with Kosher salt.
- Place potatoes directly on the middle rack of your oven and bake 45-55 minutes. (I place a small piece of foil on the rack below to catch any drippings).
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
