The Perfect Baked Potato

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.
Course Side Dish
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes, medium-sized
  • avocado oil (I use the spray)
  • Hey Old Sport Overachiever seasoning or salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
  • 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 Overachiever seasoning (or salt & pepper). 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 °F for 30-40 minutes until done. For larger potatoes follow the instructions above - it just may take longer than 60 minutes.
