Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt

Method

  1. First, set the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Then, use a fork to poke a few holes into the potatoes. Place on the baking sheet, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with sea salt all over. Bake 45 to 60 minutes, or until the potato is fork-tender and the skin is crisp.
  3. Next, slice open each potato, fluff the insides, and enjoy with desired toppings.

“The skins became properly crisp and the centres stayed fluffy, making these potatoes easy to top and share.”
