baked potatoes

By carolync

Ingredients

• 6 russet potatoes (or smaller potatoes if that's what you have on hand; baking time may vary)
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt, or to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Rinse potatoes under cool, running water and pat dry with paper towels. Note: don't prick potatoes with a fork.

Dip a rolled up paper towel in your olive oil and rub each potato all over with oil until they're shiny, but not so much that they're dripping.

Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet and evenly sprinkle salt over them.

Place in oven and bake for 50-55 minutes (less time for smaller potatoes), or until fork tender.

Remove from oven and serve hot.
