Did you ever wonder why restaurants' baked potatoes are so much better? Well, now you can enjoy them at home. They're easy to make and so delicious. Start with russet potatoes and be sure to use large flake salt, like Kosher salt to get the best taste.
6 russet baking potatoes
1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil
2 T. kosher salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Rinse/wash potatoes under cool, running water; pat dry with paper towels. DO NOT prick potatoes with a fork or a knife.
Use a brush or dip a rolled up paper towel in the olive oil; rub each potato all over with oil until shiny, but not dripping.
Place potatoes on a baking sheet; sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over them. Bake for 50-55 minutes or less time for smaller potatoes, or until fork tender.
Remove from oven. Serve immediately with butter or sour cream.
6 servings.
