Zubereitung von Best Baked Potato
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds.
- Thoroughly scrub one large russet potato (about 1 pound) with a stiff brush under cold running water.
- Pat the potato completely dry. Using a fork, pierce 8-12 deep holes all over the potato to allow steam to escape.
- Place the potato in a small bowl. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Place the oiled potato directly on the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
- Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a fork, create a dotted line down the center of the potato. Gently squeeze the ends towards each other to crack open the potato. (Watch out for escaping steam!)
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
