Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes:

  • 4 medium russet potatoes (scrubbed clean)

Seasoning:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Optional Garnishes:

  • fresh herbs or sour cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Pat the potatoes dry, poke each potato with a fork, rub with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if desired.
  3. Bake the potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes until crispy. For extra crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through baking.
  4. Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice open, fluff the insides, and top with garnishes. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For ultra-crispy skin, place the potatoes on a wire rack during baking.
  • Brushing the skin with melted butter in the last 10 minutes adds extra flavor.
