Featuring simple ingredients like russet potatoes, avocado oil, and sea salt, these oven-baked potatoes are a comforting classic side dish perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 large russet potatoes (washed)

Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 4 teaspoons sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Using a fork, poke 6 to 10 holes about 1/2 inch deep into each potato to allow steam to escape during baking. Place the potatoes in a large resealable plastic bag with the avocado oil. Seal the bag and gently roll the potatoes around to coat them evenly with oil.
  3. Season Potatoes: Arrange the oiled potatoes on a 9″ by 13″ baking dish or rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Sprinkle sea salt generously over each potato, ensuring the salt covers all sides for that signature crispy, flavorful skin.
  4. Bake Potatoes: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily without resistance.
  5. Fluff and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and slice them open lengthwise. Use a fork to lightly fluff the interior flesh, making them ready to absorb your favorite toppings. Enjoy your steakhouse-style baked potatoes!

Notes

  • Using avocado oil helps achieve a crispy, flavorful skin while adding healthy fats.
  • Fork holes prevent the potatoes from bursting by allowing steam to escape.
  • For creamier insides, bake potatoes until tender but be careful not to overbake to avoid drying them out.
  • Customize with toppings such as sour cream, chives, cheese, or bacon bits for extra richness.
  • Russet potatoes are preferred for baking because of their starchy texture and fluffy interior.
