Preheat oven for 425 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with foil.

Wash potatoes well and dry completely with a towel. (I like to use my flour sack towel for this)

Place potatoes on the foil lined baking sheet.

Pick each a few times with a fork.

Drizzle a little olive oil over each potato. Rub the oil over each potato and sprinkle each side with salt. Sprinkle with pepper also if desired.

Bake at 425 degrees for 45-60 minutes until soft.
