The following recipe is meant to teach you how to bake a potato. First, you would need to have the following ingredients: 1 medium potato, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, olive oil, or unsalted butter, and ½ teaspoon of sea salt. Once you have the following ingredients, put your oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While preheating, rinse your potato in cold water but make sure not to soak it in water as doing so will make the potato soggy.
Once clean, pierce the potato with a fork or knife for four times on each side, carefully making sure that each pierce has a one-inch interval. Brush the potato with the oil or butter and then roll it lightly in salt. Place it in a baking pan and then bake for 45 minutes.
