Oven Baked Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 and place the rack in the middle.

Step 2

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. – this is optional. You can cook eat potato directly on the rack but I highly recommend placing a lined cookie sheet on the rack below to catch the drippings.

Step 3

Scrub each potato with cool water, not hot!

Step 4

Dry the potatoes thoroughly with a paper towel.

Step 5

Using a fork, pierce each potato a good 4-5 times ensuring you go deep. If you don’t do this, the tater will explode… trust me on this! 🙂

Step 6

Slather each tater with oil ensuring it’s coated evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle with Sea Salt.

Step 8

Either lay on the lined cookie sheet or the rack.

Step 9

Cook for roughly 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the potato.*
