Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Using a fork, pierce each potato several times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes in a bowl, drizzle them with olive oil, and rub the oil evenly over their surfaces.
Sprinkle the potatoes with black pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary, gently rubbing the seasonings into the potatoes to ensure even coverage.
Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork or knife.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked potatoes hot, either as is or with your choice of low sodium toppings such as non-dairy sour cream, chives, or steamed vegetables.
