Baked potato recipe.Here's a simple recipe for baked potatoes: ### Ingredients: - 4 medium-sized russet potatoes - Olive oil - Salt - Toppings of your choice (e.g., butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives) ### Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Wash and scrub the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. 3. Dry the potatoes with a towel and then prick each potato several times with a fork. 4. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. 5. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. 6. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. 7. Cut a slit in the top of each potato and fluff the insides with a fork. 8. Add your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives, or anything else you like. 9. Serve and enjoy! You can also wrap the potatoes in foil before baking if you prefer a softer skin. Just increase the baking time slightly, checking for doneness with a fork.
