Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water and scrub off any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a fork, poke each potato several times on all sides. This will help steam escape during baking and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet.
Lightly spray each potato with olive oil spray, ensuring they are evenly coated but not soaked.
Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over all the potatoes, ensuring even coverage.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Slice each potato open and fluff the inside with a fork before serving. Enjoy your low-fat baked potatoes with your favorite toppings if desired, such as a light sprinkle of chives or a dollop of low-fat sour cream.
