Method

0 of 10 done

Heat oven to 180°C and position racks in top and bottom thirds.
Wash the potato or potatoes thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water.
Dry, then use a standard fork to poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over each potato so moisture can escape during cooking.
Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil.
Sprinkle with kosher salt and place the potato directly on the middle oven rack.
Place a baking tray lined with foil on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
Bake 1 hour or until the skin feels crisp but the flesh beneath feels soft.
To serve, create a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the potato open by squeezing the ends towards one another.
It will pop right open, but watch out for steam.
If cooking more than 4 potatoes, extend the cooking time by up to 15 minutes.
