Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil to coat evenly. This helps achieve a crispy skin.
Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are well seasoned.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack, with a baking sheet positioned on a lower rack to catch any drippings.
Bake for approximately 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 down the center and fluff the insides with a fork before serving. Customize with your favorite vegan toppings or enjoy as is.
