Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack. A baking sheet or foil can be placed on the lower rack to catch drippings.
Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the inside is tender, as checked with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven, letting them rest for 5 minutes for easier handling.
Cut a seam on each potato’s top, gently squeeze the ends to open, and fluff the insides with a fork.
Serve the baked potatoes hot with your choice of toppings, enjoying the perfect harmony of textures and flavors that make this dish a timeless favorite.
