Alton Brown's Baked Potato
  1. Wash the potatoes under running water and dry thoroughly.

  2. Poke the potatoes with a fork to allow steam to vent during cooking.

  3. Rub the potatoes with a small amount of cooking oil, just enough to make them slippery.

  4. Sprinkle about ½ teaspoon of kosher salt on the potatoes.

  5. Place the potatoes directly on an oven rack set in the middle to top third of the oven.

  6. Bake the potatoes at 300°F for 1 hour.

  7. Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven, re-oil them lightly, and return them to the oven.

  8. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and bake for 10 more minutes.

  9. To serve, poke the potatoes with a fork to perforate them, then carefully squeeze the ends to open them up.

  10. Top with desired toppings, such as butter, sour cream, and chives.
