The secret to a perfect baked potato lies in the contrast: a salty, crackling skin paired with a soft, fluffy interior. Baking the potato directly on the oven rack at high heat lets hot air circulate all around, keeping the bottom crisp instead of soggy. Choose a Russet potato—its high starch content ensures the inside flakes beautifully when you cut it open.
