I rediscovered baked potatoes this autumn-winter. I loved them as a kid, but had got out of the habit of them. But with being home so much, things like this that take a while in the oven but little involvement seemed like a good idea. If I do 180C for 2 hours I can put them in the oven before I go get s and they'll be done in time for dinner.
Heat the oven to 180C (for cooking time approx. 2 hours), or 200C (for cooking time approx. 1 hour) - if you have time I think they taste better with lower for longer. Scrub the potatoes and pat dry. Put them directly on a big baking sheet. Stab them all over with a fork. Rub with olive oil and salt. Bake until done - they should have a thick brown skin, and be squeezable.
