Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by giving my potatoes a good scrub under running water to remove any dirt. It’s surprising how gritty they can be! After scrubbing, I dry them thoroughly and then poke a few holes with a fork all over each potato—this step is crucial as it allows steam to escape and helps them cook evenly. I then rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them generously with sea salt. The oil not only adds flavor but also helps achieve that luscious crispy skin.
