2. Prepare potatoes:
   Wash and scrub potatoes. Pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.

   Rub potatoes with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with salt.
4. Bake:
   Place potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake 45–60 minutes, until skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces the potato.
