Optional: melted butter or olive oil
Sea salt

Instructions:
Set the oven temperature to 400°F, or 200°C.
Scrub the potatoes well under running water to remove any dirt.
Gently pat them dry with a clean dish towel.
To let steam escape during baking, pierce the potatoes in various spots with a fork.
Season the potatoes with salt and olive oil.
Place them immediately on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper or a rack in the oven.
After forty-five to sixty minutes in the oven, or when a fork poke makes the skin crisp and soft, check the doneness.

Make sure the potatoes don’t explode in the oven by poking them with a fork.
Applying more oil and salt to the potatoes before baking will result in a harder, crispier exterior.
