Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry.
3. Prick each potato several times with a fork and rub them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
5. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
