First wash your potatoes, either with a stiff bristle brush or a scour pad, just be sure not to skin the potato with whatever you use.
Lightly coat your potatoes with either olive oil or vegetable oil. (I pour a little vegetable oil in a bowl, dip my hand and the potato in it, then rub evenly all over the potato)
Take a fork and pierce them 4-8 times depending on the size. (This helps the steam escape)
Place your potatoes on a cookie sheet, sprinkle sea salt on them. (I use a sea salt grinder that I found at the grocery store on the finest setting)
Bake at 400 for about an hour for 4-6 medium potatoes. Turn about halfway through.
Potatoes are done when you squeeze them in the middle and they are soft. Cut down the middle with a knife and squeeze ends together to make it open, top with whatever you want.
Baking them this way makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and makes the skin taste delicious!
