RECIPE
Classic Baked Potatoes
Unwrapped russet potatoes baked for crisp skins.
METHOD
Make it
- 1
Heat oven to 425°F. Scrub and dry potatoes, pierce 5–6 times with a fork, rub lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- 2
Place directly on oven rack; optionally put a baking sheet underneath to catch drips. Bake 45–60 minutes; very large potatoes may take 60–70 minutes.
- 3
Check that a fork or knife slides easily through the center. Slit tops, squeeze ends to open and fluff with a fork. Serve with vegan butter, salt and pepper.
Cooking notes
- Do not wrap in foil if crisp skins are desired.
