Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Baked Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve the perfect crispy skin.
  2. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then dry them completely.
  3. Prick holes all over each potato with a fork. Combine olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl, then rub this mixture generously over each potato.
  4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, checking for doneness when the skin is golden.
  5. Once cooked, cool slightly and squeeze the sides of each potato to fluff the insides.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
