02 Step

Scrub the potato thoroughly under cool water to remove any dirt. Pat it completely dry with paper towels. (3 minutes)
03 Step

Using a fork, prick the potato all over. This allows steam to escape during baking, preventing explosions and promoting even cooking. (2 minutes)
04 Step

Lightly season the potato skin with sea salt. This enhances the flavor and helps to create a crispy exterior. (1 minute)
05 Step

Place the potato directly on the center rack of the preheated oven. (1 minute)
06 Step
Recipe View
Bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the potato is easily pierced with a fork. Baking time may vary depending on the size of your potato. (90 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Carefully remove the potato from the oven. Let it cool slightly before handling. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Slice open the top of the potato and fluff the inside with a fork. Add your desired toppings and serve immediately.
For an extra crispy skin, try rubbing the potato with a little olive oil before salting and baking.
If you're short on time, you can microwave the potato for a few minutes before baking to reduce the overall cooking time. However, the texture will not be the same as a fully oven-baked potato.
Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika can add a delicious twist to the potato skin.
Leftover baked potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
