Cuisine American
- 1 medium Russet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon flaked salt optional
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and scrub potatoes, and dry them with paper towel.
Pour a tablespoon of olive oil in the palm of your hand and coat potato. Repeat this step for every potato. Place the potatoes on a sheet of foil or on a parchment lined pan. Optional: sprinkle flaked salt onto the "jackets." Bake potatoes for 1 1/2 hours.
After 1 1/2 hours remove from the oven and slice open right away to let the steam out so that it doesn't steam the skin soft again. (After all that is why we bake it without wrapping them in tin foil) Add a tablespoon of butter.
