🥔 Hands Down, This Is the Best Ever Baked Potato Recipe!

There’s nothing quite like the humble baked potato — warm, fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and ready to be loaded with your favorite toppings. But if you’ve ever ended up with a soggy skin or undercooked center, you’re not alone.

Luckily, we’ve cracked the code. After testing countless methods, this is hands down the best ever baked potato recipe — and it couldn’t be easier.


🔥 What Makes It the Best?

  • Ultra-crispy, salty skin ✅
  • Soft, fluffy interior ✅
  • No foil (ever!) ✅
  • Simple ingredients ✅

This recipe is all about technique — and a couple of clever tricks that take the baked potato from basic to restaurant-quality.


🧂 Ingredients:

  • 4 large russet potatoes (look for evenly sized ones)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • Kosher salt (generously)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon bits, chives, butter, etc.

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Use a fork to poke each potato 6–8 times — this allows steam to escape while baking.

2. Oil & Salt

  • Rub each potato with olive oil or melted butter.
  • Sprinkle generously with kosher salt — this helps create that ultra-crispy skin.
