Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then place directly on the oven rack. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the skins are firm and a skewer slides through the center with no resistance.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
