Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Thoroughly wash and scrub the Russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato with a thin layer of olive oil, ensuring they’re completely coated.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and a pinch of pepper, rotating to cover all sides.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the skin is crispy. To check doneness, insert a fork into a potato; it should glide in easily.
Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Slice each potato lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork, and serve warm with your favorite Whole30-compliant toppings, such as ghee, coconut cream, or chopped chives.
