How to Bake the Perfect Potato
 
 
Ingredients
  • Russet potatoes
  • olive oil
  • coarse salt (optional)
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and adjust rack to the center position.
  2. Wash and scrub potatoes, and then lightly brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with coarse salt, if desired. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 1¼ hours.
  3. When potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and pierce them with a fork several times to form an "X" pattern in the center of the potato. Press the potato on the ends to push the filling up and out.
