How to make the perfect baked potato

The perfect baked potato is baked whole in the oven, without wrapping it in foil. Instead, cut a cross into clean, dry potatoes, brush them with a little olive oil, and place them on top of a pile of salt in an ovenproof dish. Then the potatoes just need to sit in the oven for an hour, until the skin becomes crispy and the inside is perfectly tender.
