Ingredients

2 servings

2 medium russet potatoes (about 8 oz each)
1 tsp olive oil
¼ tsp kosher salt

For serving

2 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
sour cream, to taste (optional)
shredded cheddar cheese, to taste (optional)
sliced chives or scallion greens, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1
Scrub the potatoes under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Rub each potato all over with the olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with the kosher salt.
2
Pierce each potato 8–10 times all over with a fork, going about 1/2 inch deep, to allow steam to escape during cooking.
