Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a fork, prick each potato 6-8 times to allow steam to escape during baking.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and sea salt. Brush each potato generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Place the potatoes directly on the prepared baking sheet. Tuck the rosemary sprigs between the potatoes for added aroma during baking.
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the potatoes for extra flavor.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The potatoes are done when the skins are crispy, and a knife slides easily into the flesh.
Optional: Once out of the oven, slice a slit on the top of each potato and add a pat of unsalted butter for a rich finish.
Serve the baked potatoes immediately, garnished with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
