Ingredients

• 1 Medium russet potato, scrubbed
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) olive oil
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch freshly ground black pepper, ground
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for a crispier skin.
2. Scrub the russet potato thoroughly under running water and pat it dry with a clean towel.
3. Prick the potato all over with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
4. Rub the potato with olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated. This will help achieve a crispy skin.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
6. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the potato, pressing gently to adhere.
7. Place the potato directly on the center oven rack and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the potato is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
8. Remove the potato from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Slice open the potato and fluff the interior with a fork. Add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, cheese, and chives for a personalized touch.

Enjoy your perfectly seasoned baked russet potato with a crispy skin and fluffy interior!
