Hands down, this is the best ever baked potato recipe!

Use a fork to pierce the potatoes many times. They may cook with steam escaping through this.

To make the skin of each potato more crisp, rub it with olive oil.

To improve the taste and texture of the skin, evenly sprinkle sea salt over the potatoes.

Arrange the potatoes on the rack in the center of the oven. To collect any drips, use a baking sheet or foil on the lowest rack.

Cook in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a fork test reveals a crispy outside and a soft inside.

Let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes after taking them out of the oven so they are easier to handle.

Make a seam on top of each potato, gently press the ends to open, and then use a fork to fluff the insides.

Enjoy the classic baked potatoes with your preferred toppings while they are still hot and savor the harmonious blend of tastes and textures.
