Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 russet potatoes (½ lb. each) ($1.20)
  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil ($0.04)
  • 1 pinch salt ($0.02)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Wash the potatoes well, then dry them with a towel. Use a fork to prick each potato several times.
  • Drizzle the cooking oil over the potatoes, then use your hands to smear the oil over each potato until it is fully coated. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet (you can line the baking sheet in parchment or foil for easy cleanup, if desired). Season the potatoes with a pinch of salt.
  • Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork. Total baking time will depend on the size of your potatoes.
  • Carefully cut the potatoes open, fluff the inside with a fork, and add your favorite toppings!
