Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
Using a fork, poke a couple of holes into the potatoes. This helps them release steam as they bake, which ensures even cooking.
Step 4
Set the potatoes onto the baking sheet. Brush the potatoes with olive oil all over their skins. This helps create a crispier, more flavorful crust.
Step 5
Generously sprinkle the skins of the potatoes with sea salt all over.
Step 6
Bake until the potato is fork-tender with crisp skin, for 45-60 minutes.
Step 7
Cut open each potato.
Step 8
Serve each hot with your desired garnishes—a pat of butter, a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of your favorite sharp cheddar cheese, fresh chives, or bacon bits.
