Ingredients
For The Baked Potatoes
- 4 russet potatoes see note
- 2 cloves garlic
- drizzle of your favorite roasting oil I like olive oil (see note for oil free)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 175 C.
- Clean the potatoes and rub them dry. Use a knife or fork to poke holes in them.
- Cut the garlic cloves in half and rub them all over the potatoes.
- Drizzle with oil, salt and pepper and rub all over.
- Place on the rack of the oven, put a baking sheet or tin foil underneath to catch any drippings.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, depending on size, until soft to the touch.
- Cut open and top with toppings of choice!
Notes
- You can use any potatoes you want but Russet give the fluffiest result.
- If you are oil free you can skip this but the end result won’t be as rich and moist. You can also try and use broth to get some moisture in there.
