Ingredients

  • 1 russet baking potato

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Choose a russet potato free of blemishes.
  • Wash potatoes under running water with a vegetable scrubber brush.
  • Pat potato dry.
  • Poke the potato all around with a fork for steam to release.
  • Spray or rub oil or butter lightly over potato.
  • Sprinkle salt over the potato.
  • Place potato directly on convection oven rack.
