Ingredients:
4 baking potatoes
salt
olive oil, vegetable oil, butter
Directions:
1. Use baking (mealy, starchy) potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, of uniform size and shape. Look for potatoes with even brown tone, avoid sprouted or burised potatoes, avoid potatoes with discolored spots or greenish hue.
2. Wash and scrub potatoes under cold water, pat them dry.
3. Pierce each potato deeply with a fork or small knife a few times on each side at approx. 1-inch intervals. This will allow steam to escape during the baking.

5. Bake on a rack in preheated oven:
6. minutes at 400 F,
7. minutes at 350 F,
