Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water and scrub well to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring it is well coated.
Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs (if using) evenly over each potato.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for easier handling.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until the skins are crispy and a fork inserts easily into the centers.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Slice each potato lengthwise, gently pressing the sides to open them up. Serve warm, optionally garnished with chopped chives or green onions.
