- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 4 teaspoons salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Using a fork, poke 6-10 holes, about a 1/2" deep, into each potato.
Put the potatoes into a large ziplock bag with the avocado oil. Seal the bag and roll the potatoes around inside the bag until all the potatoes are covered in oil.
Place potatoes onto a 9" x 13" baking dish or cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Sprinkle salt all over each potato, making sure to get the sides, too.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a fork inserted into the center does not stick. Once cooked, remove from the oven and slice open. Use a fork to lightly fluff the insides and serve warm with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
- Storing Leftovers- Place the cooled baked potatoes in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
