Oven Baked Potatoes {Steakhouse Copycat}

Russet potatoes

olive oil

salt

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Wash and dry the potatoes.

Pierce the potato 2-3 times with a fork (See notes in article above!)

Rub oil all over the potatoes (or choose one of the other options above to rub on the outside).

Rub salt all over the potatoes. We prefer coarse sea salt or pink himalayan salt.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes.

The exact baking time will depend on how large the potatoes are. The potato should be tender inside if you poke a fork into it.

Serve with butter, cheese, chives, sour cream and all of your favorite toppings!

What's the most necessary baked potato topping?

I actually prefer a modest amount of Ranch salad dressing on my baked potato & I'm not a Ranch fanatic-- I just prefer it for baked spuds.  If not Ranch- then good ole butta, salt & peppa.

I followed this recipe to the letter and the potato was not done!  I was hard as a rock and I had to place in the microwave to complete.  The one hour and five minute cooking time was way too short.

Yum!! I added some oil, salt, pepper, butter, cheddar cheese and sour cream. It was amazing 😍

Best Baked potatoe recipeI have ever tried. Baking the potatoes at 350 is perfect for a crispy skin and soft inside. Most other recipes say to bake at 400 but that makes the skin almost burnt and the inside is still a little too hard. Love this recipe for baking perfect baked potatoes!

I have not tried it but I sure will and believe I am going to love it.
