Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt and debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a fork, prick the potatoes 6-8 times. This allows steam to escape during baking, preventing the potatoes from exploding in the oven.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary (if using).
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush each potato generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring even coverage over the entire surface.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 50 to 60 minutes. They should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can test doneness by inserting a fork into the center of the potato; it should glide through easily.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Serve the baked potatoes whole, or slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Enjoy as a side dish with your favorite Whole30 compliant toppings.
