Prepare potatoes: Scrub potatoes clean and pat dry. Pierce each potato 4–5 times with a fork.
Season: Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt all over.
Bake: Place directly on the oven rack (you can put a baking sheet on the rack below to catch drips). Bake for 45–60 minutes, depending on size, until the skin is crispy and a fork easily slides in.
Serve: Slice open, fluff the inside with a fork, and add your favorite toppings — butter, sour cream, cheese, or even chili! 😋
Would you like me to add a fun caption to post with it, like:
