The Perfect Baked Potato Recipe: Crispy Outside, Fluffy Inside

There’s something deeply satisfying about a perfectly baked potato. With its crispy, golden skin and soft, fluffy interior, it’s a simple dish that delivers big comfort. Whether served as a side or loaded with toppings for a full meal, mastering the baked potato is a kitchen essential. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to help you get it just right every time.

🥔 Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes (best for baking)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1–2 teaspoons coarse salt (sea salt or kosher salt)
• Optional toppings:
  • Butter
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese
  • Chopped green onions
  • Crispy bacon bits

🔪 Step-by-Step Method

1. Choose the Right Potatoes

Start with russet potatoes. Their high starch content makes them ideal for baking—they become light and fluffy on the inside while the skin crisps up beautifully.

2. Wash and Dry Thoroughly

Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Scrub gently with a brush if needed. Dry completely with a clean towel—this helps the skin crisp up during baking.
