Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, to taste
Optional toppings: butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon bits, chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub potatoes clean, pat dry, and poke each a few times with a fork.
- Rub with olive oil and roll in kosher salt to coat.
- Place directly on oven rack and bake for 50–60 minutes.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Air Fryer Instructions:
- Scrub 2–4 russet potatoes clean and pat dry. Prick each one a few times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle generously with coarse salt (like kosher or sea salt).
- Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3–5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Air fry for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces the center.
- Remove and let cool slightly. Slice open and top with butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon bits, or chives—just like Outback!
