Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Scrub the potatoes very well, then drizzle oil over each one. Rub the oil over the skin of each potato. Take care not to use too much ... you don't want it to be dripping off.
Generously sprinkle sea salt over each potato.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack, evenly spaced apart. Roast for about an hour. To test for doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the largest potato to be sure it is soft all the way to the middle.
Serve with butter, sour cream, Boursin cheese, chives or green onions, chopped bacon, steamed broccoli ... or even with Classic American Chili!
