Perfect Baked Potato Recipe

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Scrub potatoes well and pat them completely dry.
3. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to let steam escape.

Step 2: Season and Bake

1. Rub each potato with olive oil or butter.
2. Sprinkle all sides with coarse salt.
3. Place directly on the oven rack (or on a baking sheet with a wire rack).
4. Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until skins are crisp and a fork easily pierces the center.

Step 3: Serve

1. Let cool slightly. Slice open lengthwise.
2. Fluff the inside with a fork and add your favorite toppings.
