Simple BUT Delicious

Baked Potatoes

Ingredients:

• Potatoes
• Olive Oil
• Salt

Toppings

• Cheese
• Olives
• Green onions
• Sour cream
• Ranch Dressing
• Butter
• Salt and pepper
• Chili
• Bacon or bacon bits

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Clean your potatoes with a stiff-bristled brush and cold water and remove any bruises or miscolored spots.
3. Take a fork and stab about 6-12 holes deeply into the potatoes flesh, depending on the size of the potatoes you are using.
4. Dribble oil on the potatoes and use your hand to coat the whole thing. Lightly sprinkle salt on all sides.
5. Arrange them in oven directly on the rack. Place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drippings.
6. Cook potatoes for about 45 minutes. You'll know they're done when the skin is puffed up, golden-brown and crispy, and the potato should squish easily and be very soft on the inside.

I got the idea for putting oil and salt on the potatoes from this website.
