How to make baked potatoes
Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and prick them with the tines of a fork. You can lay them directly on the oven rack or place them on a baking sheet. Cook the potatoes for 45 to 60 minutes, until their skin is crispy and sticking one with a fork meets no resistance.
For softer skins, you can wrap them in foil before baking.
If you are going to be gone for awhile, you can wrap the potatoes in foil and place in a Crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
