Learn how to make the most incredible crispy baked potatoes that everyone will love. This ultimate recipe is simple and yields perfectly crispy skins with fluffy insides.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes:

  • 4 medium-sized russet potatoes

Seasoning:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)

Garnish:

  • Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving that crispy exterior.
  2. Wash and Scrub: Rinse the potatoes under cold water, scrubbing the skin to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
  3. Prick the Potatoes: Use a fork to prick holes all over each potato. This helps steam escape during baking.
  4. Coat with Oil: In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Rub this mixture over each potato, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake: Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork can easily pierce the flesh.
  6. Rotate Potatoes: Halfway through baking, consider turning the potatoes for even cooking.
  7. Check for Doneness: When done, the potatoes should feel soft inside and have a crisp skin.
  8. Cool Slightly: Remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing open.
  9. Fluff the Insides: Lightly squeeze the sides of each potato to puff up the inside, making it even fluffier.
  10. Garnish: Top with fresh herbs for an added pop of flavor and color.
