Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F and position racks in top and bottom thirds.
- Wash potato (or potatoes) thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water.
- Dry, then using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spud so that moisture can escape during cooking.
- Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil.
- Sprinkle with kosher salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven.
- Place a baking sheet (I put a piece of aluminum foil) on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
- Bake 1 hour or until skin feels crisp but flesh beneath feels soft.
- Serve by creating a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another.
- It will pop right open.
- But watch out, there will be some steam.
- NOTE: If you're cooking more than 4 potatoes, you'll need to extend the cooking time by up to 15 minutes.

OVEN-RACK BAKED POTATOES
These sliced potatoes are so very simple to make and extremely tasty. This recipe originated with my Russian grandmother over 100 years ago, however, they baked them in an outside oven as they did not have the modern facilities of today.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 F degrees.
- If you are using young potatoes or potatoes with a clean skin, DO NOT PEEL, just scrub well; otherwise peel potatoes.
- Slice potatoes lengthwise to about 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Place in a large bowl; cover with cold water and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Drain and pat slices dry with paper towelling.
- DO NOT RUB POTATOES WITH ANY OILS OR BUTTER.
- Place directly on middle rack in oven and bake for 20 minutes in preheated 450 F oven.
- Turn potatoes over and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes or until cooked.
- Remove potatoes into a large bowl.
- Drizzle melted butter or margarine over potatoes; gently turn slices to coat.
- Serve with additional melted butter or margarine, a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped green onions or chives.
- If desired, you may wish to sprinkle sliced potatoes before baking with garlic powder or your choice of a spice.
- The slices will puff up and turn a nice medium-dark brown when baked.
Tips:
- Scrub potatoes thoroughly: This helps remove dirt and bacteria, and it also helps the potatoes cook more evenly.
- Prick potatoes with a fork: This allows steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
- Use a baking sheet with sides: This will help keep the potatoes from rolling around and falling off the sheet.
- Bake potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Flip potatoes halfway through cooking: This will help them brown evenly.
- Test potatoes for doneness with a fork: They are done when a fork easily pierces the center.
- Let potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help prevent them from breaking.
