Steps

1

Preheat oven to 475 degrees
2

Wash and dry potatoes. Make sure they are completely dry prior to taking the next step. I often leave them on a rack to air dry for 15-20 minutes.
3

Rub the outsides of the potatoes with oil. Then sprinkle with generous amounts salt and pepper and wrap tight in tin foil
4

Bake in oven for 45-50 minutes.
5

Remove the potatoes from the oven and remove the foil. Then place the potatoes back in oven directly on the rack.
6

Bake for another 1hr15mn to 1hr10mn.
7

The potatoes are now ready but if you need time shut off oven and serve within 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!
