Ingredients
- Russet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
- Rub olive oil all over the potatoes, then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces the potato.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Choose even-sized russets for uniform cooking. Rotate potatoes if your oven has hot spots for even browning.
