Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. This will help the skin become crispy.
Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper over the potatoes, turning them to coat all sides evenly.
Place the prepared potatoes directly on the middle oven rack. You can place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drippings.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a fork can easily pierce the center of the potatoes.
Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked potatoes with your choice of toppings, such as butter, sour cream, chives, or cheese, ensuring they are soy-free if required.
