A simple process to bake your potatoes perfectly, every time. Crispy skin with a fluffy, airy inside. And the skin doesn't get ignored in cooking so it doesn't get left behind in eating.

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 Russet potatoes medium sized
  • avocado oil I use the spray
  • salt & pepper or your favorite seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wash the potatoes and pat dry with paper towel. Poke the outside with a fork a few times all around it, then spray with the avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper (or whatever seasoning you choose). Rub the potatoes to cover evenly and set on a baking dish.
  • Bake in the oven for 1 hour for a medium-sized potato. It's done when a paring knife slides into the center easily without resistance.
  • For smaller potatoes, bake at 425 for 30-40 minutes until done. For larger potatoes follow the instructions above - it just may take longer than 60 minutes.
