Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
Advertisement
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt. Pat them completely dry—this ensures crispier skin.
2. Pierce & Oil
Pierce each potato 3–4 times with a fork to allow steam to escape (prevents bursting).
Rub each one all over with olive oil, coating every surface evenly.
