Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil and sprinkle with the 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Place directly on the oven rack with a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below to catch drips.

Bake the potatoes for 55–65 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a fork slides into the center with no resistance. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
